The Boston Bruins assigned Jordan Caron to Providence in time for Sunday's game against the Lowell Albany Devils, where he was reunited with former linemate Zach Hamill. The pair connected for a goal, and though it wasn't enough for the P-Bruins to take out a win in OT, the quick reignition of chemistry between the two was promising for P-Bruins fans hoping to see a winning record this year The line of Hamill centering Caron and veteran Jeremy Reich was potent at times last season.

Caron and Hamill skate against Binghamton last year at the Dunk.

But Caron's tenure in Providence this year, as well as his opportunities to build a rapport with his teammates, might be limited if he continues this week's course: Caron was called up after Sunday night's game in order to practice with the team in Wilmington on Monday.

No word on whether Caron will be reassigned for next weekend's games, but barring injury, with Benoit Pouliot seemingly having locked up a spot on the Boston Bruins roster, it might be for the best for Caron to simmer in Providence and see actual ice time rather than sitting in the press box gathering dust in Boston.
