Bruins recall Zach Hamill

Last night Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli announced that the Bruins have recalled forward Zach Hamill from Providence (AHL) o an emergency basis.

So Hamill may play in tonight's game against the Edmonton Oilers if Rich Peverley can't play or instead of playing Benoit Pouliot.

Through 14 AHL games this season, Hamill leads the P-Bruins in goals (5), points (10) and plus/minus (+2) and is second on the team in assists (5). Last season, Hamill spent the majority of the year in Providence and finished second on the team in scoring with 9-34=43 totals. He was recalled once to Boston from February 3 – 13, 2011 and tallied one assist in three NHL games.

Hamill has skated in four career NHL games with 0-2=2 totals. He made his NHL debut on April 11, 2010 against Washington and recorded his first career NHL assist/point in that game.

He was originally drafted by the Bruins in the first round (8th overall) of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
