Bruins' Matej Blumel: Activated and sent down

Blumel (lower body) was activated from long-term injured reserve Sunday and sent to AHL Providence.

Blumel was injured Nov. 26 against the Islanders and has been on long-term injured reserve since then. The 25-year-old has played four games in the NHL this season, posting a minus-3 rating, two hits and two blocked shots in those contests. Healthy again now, he'll rejoin AHL Providence, where he has 13 points (two goals, 11 assists) in 13 games.
