Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli announced today that the club has recalled forward Carter Camper from the Providence Bruins (American Hockey League).

As of February 20th, he leads the team in overall points (38) and assists (24) and is coming off his first professional hat trick which he registered against the Connecticut Whale on February 19. Camper was also the only P-Bruin selected to participate in this year's AHL All-Star game on January 29th, held in Atlantic City, NJ.

This marks Camper's first NHL recall of his career. In 2010-11, Camper appeared with Providence three times at the conclusion of his collegiate career, recording one goal and one assist in three games played.
