Bruins place 24-year-old defenceman on waivers
For the second straight day, there was action on the waiver wire as the Boston Bruins are attempting to send a defenceman to the minors.
According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Bruins have placed 24-year-old defenceman Ian Mitchell on waivers for the purpose of sending him to AHL Providence.
"Mitchell (BOS) on waivers. Both from yesterday cleared" Friedman said.
Mitchell, a native of St. Albert, Alberta has appeared in 13 games for the Boston Bruins this season where he's recorded two assists, ten penalty minutes and is a plus-six. He's also skated in four AHL games with Providence, putting up one assist.
