As the Bruins deal with temporary injuries to youngsters Frank Vatrano and David Pastrnak and the loss of Chris Kelly for the regular season, there are a couple of offensive-minded reinforcements they could turn to in Providence at some point.
Center Austin Czarnik and right wing Seth Griffith are both back from injuries and leading the Baby Bruins’ top line.
Although the varsity B’s opted to instead recall seasoned defensive forward Max Talbot for Saturday night’s 2-0 win against Toronto in lineup relief with Vatrano out, Czarnik or Griffith may be good options in the future if others go down and the Bruins want to put a more offensive, quick, high energy squad on the ice or use offensive alternatives for the 4th line.
