Bruins' Riley Tufte: Called up from minors

Tufte was recalled from AHL Providence on Wednesday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

Tufte was skating in a second-line role at Wednesday's practice and looks set to return to the lineup against the Hurricanes on Thursday. In his five NHL games this year, the 26-year-old winger has yet to register a point, but he's been significantly more productive in the minors, where he has generated 18 goals and 13 helpers over 42 outings.
