After he was spotted on the ice at Warrior Tuesday morning, the Bruins confirmed that Jakub Zboril has been recalled from Providence.
The 21-year-old defenseman appears to be up on a standard recall, so he can play as the team wants.
Per the Bruins, Brandon Carlo didn't skate this morning, while Urho Vaakanainen, Charlie McAvoy and Kevan Miller all did non-practice work.
Miller appears to be closest to returning:
Kevan Miller will travel with the team, not likely to play before Detroit. McAvoy, Carlo, Vaakanainen will not travel today.

The Bruins didn't return Jeremy Lauzon to Providence, so they have a spare defenseman.
In all likelihood, Zboril is being brought on the trip in case someone gets hurt; having a guy with you spares the cross-country flight and gives the team flexibility.
He has four points in 13 games for Providence, and has battled a few injuries since the preseason.
