We all knew it was only a matter of time before the Boston and Providence Bruins began making transactions.  With the injury of Jordan Caron and the Bruins needing a third-line forward, it was expected that the P-Bruins would be making some moves.  Today the club announced the return of Jared Knight from the ECHL South Carolina StingRays.

Knight had previously been with the P-Bruins until being sent down to South Carolina on January 2.  He missed 27 consecutive games due to a lower body injury.  In being sent down he has participated in two games with the StingRays and recorded eight shots on goal with a -2 rating.

Prior to becoming part of the Bruins organization Knight was a member of the London Knights in the OHL for four seasons.  He helped the team win the Robertson Cup in 2011, defeating the Niagra Ice Dogs.  Combined he played in 250 games with the Knights and registered 102 goals and 107 assists for a total of 209 points.

Welcome back Jared, we look forward to seeing your progress with the Bruins!
