Sobotka and St. Pierre sent down

Today the Bruins sent forwards Vladimir Sobotka and Martin St. Pierre down to the Providence Bruins (AHL). The Bruins host the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday and I would expect both players to be recalled for that game.

In other Bruins news, Zdeno Chara, Marc Savard, and Tim Thomas have been named to the Eastern Conference All-Star roster for the 2009 NHL All-Star game. This will be Chara's fourth All-Star appearance, Savard's second All-Star appearance, and Thomas's second All-Star appearance as well. Congrats to all three.
