Welcome to the third edition of the Bruins Midweek Prospect report! Sorry for missing last week. That said, there's been a lot happening in the world of the P-Bruins; while some of our OHL boys have quieted down, and our two KHL prospects have both made headlines in Russia recently. (You forgot we had KHL prospects, didn't you.)
After the jump, the P-Bruins have started to turn their season around, have made a new acquisition (as of today!), the injuries are flying fast and furious, and a few of our college prospects have some interesting stats....
P-Bruins Report
The Baby B's are finally starting to turn things around, with a 5-5-1-0 record that is good for second best in the Atlantic Division. According to the Providence Journal, Maxime Sauve and Jamie Tardiff were (finally) cleared to play before practice yesterday, which should provide an injection of much-needed offense into the lineup.

PROSPECT TWEET OF THE WEEK
Ryan Button was sent down to Reading last weekend for a conditioning stint. What greeted him upon his arrival there?

Poor kid. One of Reading's games was, in fact, delayed due to weather.
