The Maine Mariners don’t play until this weekend when they face the Worcester Railers for three games starting on Friday night. The Boston Bruins today assigned defenseman Max Wanner to their AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins, while assigning defenseman Jackson Edward from Providence down to Maine. Wanner, in his first three games back this past weekend for Maine, scored a goal and was even in plus/minus. In seven games for Providence, Wanner before the injury played in seven games with Providence but didn’t record a point and was a plus-two. Edward, in nine games with Providence, is pointless with a plus-two. In two games for Maine this season, Edward has been pointless and is a minus-one.
