The Bruins have assigned Patrick Brown to Providence (AHL).

Brown suited up on the fourth line on Thursday and had two shots and a minus-1 rating in 12:42 TOI. He'll be replaced by either Tyler Johnson, who was a healthy scratch on Thursday or Georgii Merkulov/Riley Tufte, who were recalled from the AHL in a corresponding move. Brown has seven points (3G / 4A) in 12 AHL games this season.

The Bruins have recalled Riley Tufte from Providence (AHL).

Tufte has already appeared in two NHL games this season and has scored three goals with one assist in six AHL games. The 26-year-old winger has just two goals and one assist in 20 career NHL games with the Stars, Avalanche and Bruins.

The Bruins have recalled Georgii Merkulov from Providence (AHL).

Merkulov has enjoyed a strong start to his AHL season, tying for the team lead with 11 points (2G / 9A) in 12 games. The Bruins are looking to add some offence to their lineup, so Merkulov could make his season debut. He failed to record a point in four NHL games a season ago.

The Wild recalled Ohgren from Iowa (AHL) on an emergency basis on Friday.

Ohgren was recalled to fill the roster spot vacated by Mats Zuccarello, who was placed on injured reserve earlier on Friday due to a lower-body injury. Ohgren is yet to register a point in seven games with the Wild this season.
