Bruins' Trent Frederic: Emergency recall

Frederic was recalled from AHL Providence under emergency conditions Tuesday, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.

The Bruins are thin up front as a result of injuries to Marcus Johansson (lung contusion), Jake DeBrusk (foot) and David Pastrnak (thumb), so Frederic was called up as a reinforcement option. However, the 21-year-old center from the University of Wisconsin has yet to record a point through 11 games at the top level, and he shouldn't have much fantasy utility this late in the season.
