According to a recent report, the Boston Bruins' AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins, has recalled a forward.
It was just announced that the Providence Bruins have recalled Ty Gallagher from the Maine Mariners, which is the ECHL affiliate of the Bruins.
Gallagher played 2 games for the Maine Mariners in the ECHL over the past weekend and scored a power play goal.
Now it looks like he is going to get a chance with the Providence Bruins, who are one of the best teams in the American Hockey League right now.

Could this lead to a call-up to the NHL?
With the Providence Bruins calling up a forward, this could mean that a forward may be getting called up to the NHL.
Recently, the Bruins announced that Elias Lindholm is going to be out week-to-week after suffering a lower body injury.
Marco Sturm didn't get into specifics but says that an MRI confirmed what the Bruins believed to be the case with Elias Lindholm's injury, and that his status is week-to-week.
Since he is going to be out for an uncertain amount of time, this could lead to the Bruins recalling a forward from the Providence Bruins just to have an extra body and be on the safe side.
If the Bruins were to recall someone for an extra body, it likely wouldn't be a player like Poitras, Lysell, or Merkulov, but rather someone like Patrick Brown, who they wouldn't mind having sitting around.
Do you think this recall is going to lead to another forward being recalled to the Boston Bruins?
