After suffering a gruesome injury, the Bruins were forced to recall a defenseman from the Providence Bruins to replace Charlie McAvoy.
Just a couple of games ago, facing off against the Montreal Canadiens, the Bruins lost a couple of key players.
Viktor Arvidsson suffered an injury, but the Bruins already have a timeline on his return, as he is listed as week-to-week.
Charlie McAvoy, on the other hand, is still undergoing testing after taking a slapshot to the face, and it's unclear how long he is going to be out for.
Because of this and the fact the Bruins are on a four-game road trip, the Bruins needed an extra defenseman and have recalled a defenseman.
Bruins recall defenseman to replace McAvoy
According to recent reports, the Bruins announced that they have recalled defenseman Michael Callahan once again from the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League.
The Bruins have recalled Michael Callahan from Providence.
The meaning of this transaction is just so the Bruins have an extra defenseman available for their road trip in case another one suffers an injury.
It's unclear whether or not Callahan is going to play on the road trip, but the Bruins now have some options to work with.
Callahan has played in three games with the Bruins this season already, where he has 0 points, three hits, six blocks, and a minus-2 rating.
When playing for the Providence Bruins, Callahan has recorded two assists and is a plus-6 rating in 12 games this season.
Do you think Michael Callahan deserves to be called up over other defenseman?
