Providence Bruins News Release


Providence, RI - The American Hockey League today announced that Providence Bruins defenseman Matt Lashoff has been named to the PlanetUSA AHL All-Star team for the 2007 Rbk Hockey AHL All-Star Classic, to be played Monday, January 29 at 7 p.m. at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto. AHL fans determined the starting line-ups via online balloting at www.theahl.com, while a committee of AHL coaches selected the remainder of the rosters.

Lashoff, 20, is one of 34 all-star selections to be making an AHL All-Star Classic debut. Currently, the blueliner is playing in the National Hockey League with the Boston Bruins, having suited up for eight games thus far over two separate call-ups, while earning his first two NHL points, both assists. With Providence, the rookie has tallied 17 points (6g, 11a) in 28 contests. Lashoff signed with the P-Bruins in 2005-06 after a full junior season with the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League. Selected 22nd overall (first round) by Boston in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, the East Greenbush, New York, native played the final seven regular season games for Providence last year before adding another six games of experience in the post-season. All told, Lashoff had one goal and one assist. In three junior seasons with Kitchener, the defenseman scored 93 points (16g, 75a) in 162 contests. Lashoff was also an OHL All-Star in 2006.

Providence gets back into action next weekend, spending all three games on the road Friday, January 12 at Springfield, Saturday against the Binghamton Senators and Sunday versus the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. The P-Bruins return home to The Dunk against these same Falcons on Friday, January 19 at 7:05 p.m. for Mug Night courtesy of Dunkin' Donuts.
