Providence Bruins News Release
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, member of the American Hockey League, announced that the Boston Bruins have recalled rookie defenseman Matt Hunwick. He could make his National Hockey League debut Saturday night at the TD Banknorth Garden when Boston hosts the Buffalo Sabres at 7 p.m. The P-Bruins now have 21 players on their roster, including 13 forwards, six defensemen and two goaltenders.
Hunwick, 22, is a first-year product out of the University of Michigan, where he spent the last four seasons playing for the Wolverines. The blue-liner began this season in Providence, appearing in all nine games and recording four assists with a plus-seven rating, tied for second on the club. He registered his first career helper on October 13, 2007 on the road against the Rochester Americans, the first of three straight games in which he produced a point. During his 163-game collegiate career, Hunwick scored 24 goals and added 73 assists for 97 points, a personal-high 30 points coming in his junior season. The two-year captain at Michigan was drafted by Boston in the seventh round, 224th overall, of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
The Atlantic Division-leading Providence Bruins take their 8-1 record back to the Cumberland County Civic Center Saturday night to battle the Portland Pirates for the second straight game, beginning at 7:05 p.m. The P-Bruins open the home portion of their season at the newly renovated Dunkin' Donuts Center on Wednesday, November 14, also against the Pirates at 7:05 p.m. Information on Bruins season ticket packages and individual tickets for the 2007-08 regular season can be obtained by calling the team ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or by logging onto the team website at www.providencebruins.com.
