Providence Bruins News Release


The Providence Bruins announced today that defenseman Zdenek Kutlak has been reassigned to the team by the Boston Bruins. The 23-year-old native of Budejovice, Czech Republic is expected to be in the lineup tonight, when the P-Bruins visit the Hartford Wolf Pack at 7:05 p.m. The game can be heard live on WDDZ AM-550.

Kutlak began the season with Providence, but was recalled by Boston on November 4 after posting 2-5-7 totals in 10 games. He was reassigned to the P-Bruins on conditioning on December 7, and scored the game-winning goal in a 3-0 victory over Lowell that night, before being recalled again by Boston. He was also assigned to Providence for conditioning on January 10, and played in one game before going back to Boston. He has no points in two games this season with Boston, and has 1-2-3 totals and 4 PIM in 16 career NHL games, all with the Bruins.

The 6'3", 221-pound Kutlak ranks fourth on the P-Bruins franchise career list with 222 games played. If he plays in Hartford tonight, he will tie former P-Bruins defenseman and coach Bill Armstrong for third all-time. Kutlak has 16-36-52 totals and 141 PIM in his Providence career, which began in the 2000-01 season. He has 3-5-8 totals and 2 PIM in 12 games with the P-Bruins this season. Kutlak was Boston's 10th pick, 237th overall, in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft.

The Bruins return home to host the Manchester Monarchs on Dunkin' Donuts Mug Night, Friday, January 23 at 7:05 p.m. All fans in attendance will receive a free Providence Bruins mug, courtesy of Dunkin' Donuts. Friday's game will also be the first of four to be televised live on COX-3.
