AHL: Providence Bruins Assigned Max Wanner from Maine Mariners 

The Providence Bruins return this weekend against the Cleveland Monsters, with the two teams playing on Friday and Saturday. The Bruins will do so with defenseman Max Wanner back in the lineup as the Boston Bruins assigned him to Providence from Maine. Ironically his return comes against Cleveland which is the last team he faced when he suffered a lacerated kidney which came on November 7th. He played in seven games with Providence but didn’t record a point and was a plus-two. In three games over the weekend for Maine, he scored a goal and was even in plus/minus.
