ST. PAUL, MNThe Bruins continue to search for line combinations and players that will give them some offensive pop, and theyve called up a player from Providence they hope might provide a spark.
Carter Camper is coming off a hat trick on Sunday against the Connecticut Whale and was the only P-Bruins player invited to take part in the AHL All-Star game last month. Camper has 14 goals and 24 assists in 53 games for the Providence farm club, and will be enjoying his first call-up to the NHL when he meets the Bruins in St. Louis for a scheduled Tuesday practice at the Scottrade Center.
Carter was a college hockey standout at Miami (Ohio) University, made Frozen Four appearances and was a Hobey Baker finalist in his senior year before signing with the Bruins organization as an undrafted free agent.
