The Bruins have recalled Matt Grzelcyk from Providence (AHL).
Grzelcyk, 23, has recorded four assists in 14 games with Providence so far this season. Grzelcyk has been recalled because Torey Krug is banged up and comes up to the Bruins with no points in three career NHL games.

Toninato was recalled from San Antonio (AHL) and will make his NHL debut on Saturday.
Toninato was a fifth round pick in 2012 and has registered three goals and three assists in 13 games in his first pro year with the Rampage. The 23-year-old will centre a line with Nail Yakupov and Sven Andrighetto on his wings.
Weber (lower-body) will likely return to the Canadiens lineup on Saturday.
Weber (lower-body) skated on Friday; not 100% certain he will play on Saturday.
Weber was a late scratch on Thursday but was back on the ice this morning and could be back on Saturday. Weber remains a question mark, but at least it doesn’t appear to be a serious injury.
Teravainen (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Sunday.
Teravainen (upper-body) missed Saturday’s practice; questionable for Sunday’s game.
Burakovsky underwent surgery on his left thumb; expected to miss 6-8 weeks.
Burakovsky (upper-body) will not travel on the Capitals three-game road-trip.
Burakovsky will miss Monday’s practice with an upper-body injury.
After being dropped to the third line on Friday, Burakovsky recorded a goal and assist, but he is reportedly banged up following this weekend’s back-to-back set. The Capitals are off until Thursday, so even if he’s kept off of the ice today he could avoid missing any time.
Burakovsky has been demoted to the Capitals' third line in Detroit.
Burakovsky has just two assists in seven games in the Capitals’ top-6 so he was moved to the third line with Tom Wilson taking his spot with Nicklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie. Burakovsky will be difficult to trust in fantasy circles while he’s outside the top-6.

The Bruins have sent Matt Grzelcyk to Providence (AHL).
Grzelcyk cracked the opening night roster thanks to a Torey Krug preseason injury, but with Krug set to return on Monday, Grzelcyk was sent back to the AHL. The 23-year-old was a plus-1 with two shots on goal in 12:11 TOI in the season opener. He returns to Providence where he had 32 points (6G / 26A) in 70 games during his first professional campaign.
The Canucks have acquired Derrick Pouliot from the Penguins for Andrey Pedan and a 2018 fourth-round pick.
Pouliot was the No.8 overall pick in the 2012 NHL Draft, but has yet to reach his full potential in Pittsburgh. The 23-year-old defenseman split last season between the NHL and AHL, recording 23 points (7G / 16A) in 46 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and no points in 11 games with the Penguins. The rebuilding Canucks can take a chance on the young blueliner, who likely won’t crack the top-6 to open the season.
Bertuzzi will miss 3-4 weeks with tendon inflammation in his wrist.
This is an unfortunate injury for Bertuzzi, who was expected to open the season with the Red Wings after dazzling in the AHL playoffs last spring. Bertuzzi could still be a Red Wing when he’s healthy, but this injury opens the door for Martin Frk or Luke Witkowski to open the season as their No.12 forward.
