The Boston Bruins have announced that forward Matt Poitras and defenseman Michael Callahan have been recalled from their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Providence Bruins. 

Poitras, 20, has played spectacularly since being sent down to Providence in November, so this call-up is undoubtedly warranted. In 23 games with the AHL squad this campaign, he has eight goals and 20 points.

In 14 games this season with Boston, Poitras has one goal, three assists, and a minus-4 rating. This is after he had five goals and 10 points in 33 games with Boston last season. 

Callahan, on the other hand, is getting his first regular-season recall ever with the Bruins. The 6-foot-2 defenseman has appeared in 35 games this season with the Providence Bruins, posting one goal, five assists, and a plus-1 rating.
