Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, in their 17th season in the American Hockey League, announced that defenseman Matt Lashoff has been recalled by the National Hockey League's Boston Bruins.

Lashoff, 22, is in his fourth professional season, all spent in the Boston organization. The blue-liner began this season in Providence, registering 13 points (3g, 10a) and 21 penalty minutes in 15 games. Lashoff enjoyed a five-game point-streak from October 12 to October 24, followed by his best game of the season November 14 against the Worcester Sharks in which he scored a goal and added three assists for a four-point game and a plus-four rating.
