Midweek Bruins Prospect Report

It's that time again - time for your weekly dose of baby B's. This week, fortunately, we can distract ourselves from the Providence Bruins' horrendous start by taking a look at how amazingly our OHL and college prospects have done so far. 

P-Bruins readings:

The baby B's dropped their home opener to St. John's 4-1.

They also dropped Sunday's game to Worcester 4-1. 

Marc Cantin talks about making his professional debut. 

Yannick Riendeau got himself assigned to Reading.

Butch Cassidy brought in Besa Tsintsadze to whip the P-Bruins into shape; 3 injured set to return.

Who's Hot:

• BC's Tommy Cross, with 2 assists and All-Tournament honors at the season-opening  Ice Breaker Tournament. Boston College won by beating Michigan State and North Dakota
• Northern Michigan's Justin Florek, with 3 goals in 2 games, including 2 power play goals, in NMU's weekend series against Wisconsin. Florek took 16 SOG in 2 games.
• Niagara's Dougie Hamilton - after 3 assists in three games, he's had 8 points in the following three.
• Windsor's Alexander Khokhlachev - team lead in points, with 12 in 7 games.

Who's Not:

• After five points in his first five games for Severstal, Maxim Chudinov is scoreless through his last three. Rumor has it he may be traded to a better team.
• Ryan Spooner has a tepid one point and is a -5 through his past three games. Interestingly enough, sources say he may be on the move to another OHL team with one of his fellow Bruins prospects.
• The entire P-Bruins roster, who looked flat and poorly conditioned in their inaugural weekend.

Injury report:

• Nathan McIver (Providence, AHL) - lower body (4+ weeks)
