Bruins Recall Morrow, Trotman From Providence
BOSTON (CBS) -- With Zdeno Chara reportedly out at least 4-6 weeks after suffering a leg injury Thursday night, the Boston Bruins recalled a pair of defensemen on Friday.
Blueliners Joe Morrow and Zach Trotman have both been recalled from Providence on an emergency basis, Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli announced Friday morning. Morrow and Trotman will join the team in Boston for Friday's practice and will travel with the team to Toronto.
Morrow has skated in five games with the Providence Bruins this season with one goal and one assist. He skated in 56 games with Providence last season, scoring six goals and notching 23 assist, adding four goals and seven assists in 12 playoff games.
The 6-foot-1 Morrow was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round (23rd overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He was acquired by Boston in July of 2013 as part of the package they received from the Dallas Stars for Tyler Seguin.
Trotman, a seventh round pick by the Bruins in 2010, has skated in five games with the Providence Bruins this season, recording one assist. Last season, Trotman played in 53 games for Providence and finished with eight goals and 16 assists, adding four more assists in eight postseason games.
