In the wake of a David Krejci deal, the Bruins also announced today that Jordan Caron and Steven Kampfer have been assigned to the Providence Bruins.



Caron has appeared in 11 games so far this season, with 1-2=3 totals in that time. He has played one game for Providence this season, a game in which he played with Zach Hamill and tallied one assist. He has been a healthy scratch for the last seven Boston games, as Benoit Pouliot has stepped up his game and secured the third spot on the third line with Rich Peverley and Chris Kelly.

Kampfer has appeared in five games for Boston this season, in which he has one assist. He has not played any games for Providence this year. Last season, he had 16 points in 22 games for the AHL club.

Caron and Kampfer should add a good boost to a struggling Providence team; along with the return of captain Trent Whitfield from concussion problems this Friday, the team should be able to compete better than they have been. It's possible that Whitfield and Caron could spark Arniel and Hamill to start producing as they should be.
