Jordan Caron sent down to Providence

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Dec 6, 2010 9:32 PM EST

The Bruins announced today that they have assigned rookie forward Jordan Caron to the Providence Bruins.

Caron has appeared in 20 games for the big club this year compiling 3-4-7 totals. He has been a helathy scratch the past two games and has not seen game action since the Bruins' 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on December 1st. Caron, who made the NHL roster out of training camp has never appeared in an AHL game.

Caron could be busy this weekend. The Providence Bruins will take on the Portland Pirates on Friday night at "The Dunk" and will play on home-and-home series with the Springfield Falcons on Saturday and Sunday. With three games in New England this weekend for the Baby B's, it is the perfect time for Caron to go down a for quick stint.

On the surface this just looks like a move to get the young winger some more ice time and allow him to build some confidence at the AHL level, but who knows? This could be a move that sets up another roster move. We will just have to wait and see.

I was going to trash this because they were keeping Paille up…but the lines are full right now and it makes sense for him to get some playing time in. Wish I could get to a PBruins game this weekend to see him play.

no sense carrying two extra in the press box given the cap situation. But pending any injury to forwards, I hope we’re seeing Caron called back up and not Paille slotting in
