The Bruins have assigned Patrick Brown to Providence (AHL).

Brown suited up on the fourth line on Thursday and had two shots and a minus-1 rating in 12:42 TOI. He'll be replaced by either Tyler Johnson, who was a healthy scratch on Thursday or Georgii Merkulov/Riley Tufte, who were recalled from the AHL in a corresponding move. Brown has seven points (3G / 4A) in 12 AHL games this season.

The Bruins have recalled Georgii Merkulov from Providence (AHL).

Merkulov has enjoyed a strong start to his AHL season, tying for the team lead with 11 points (2G / 9A) in 12 games. The Bruins are looking to add some offence to their lineup, so Merkulov could make his season debut. He failed to record a point in four NHL games a season ago.

The Wild recalled Ohgren from Iowa (AHL) on an emergency basis on Friday.

Ohgren was recalled to fill the roster spot vacated by Mats Zuccarello, who was placed on injured reserve earlier on Friday due to a lower-body injury. Ohgren is yet to register a point in seven games with the Wild this season.

Perets has been recalled from Chicago (AHL).

With Pyotr Kochetkov (undisclosed) doubt for Saturday's game against the Ottawa Senators, in addition to Frederik Andersen (lower body) being out long-term, the Hurricanes have recalled Perets from the Chicago Wolves (AHL). If Kochetkov is not able to suit up on Saturday, Perets will likely serve as the backup to Spencer Martin. The 24-year-old Perets has a 3.67 GAA and .825 SV% in three games with the Wolves (AHL) this season.
