Over the past month, Bruins forward Ryan Spooner has emerged into a versatile, top six forward for the team. With an assist in his team’s 6-2 loss to the Ducks Tuesday, Spooner now has assists in four straight games and has 15 points (2g; 13a) in his last 14 games. He is third on the team with 37 points.
It’s been a work in progress for the 23-year old center who was drafted 45th overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. But now, after spending the majority of his first three pro seasons with the Providence Bruins in the AHL, Spooner appears to have found a spot on the Boston roster and is one of the reasons, the Bruins were able to stay in playoff contention when top center David Krejci recently missed ten games with an upper body injury.
