With Tuukka Rask out with an illness/general soreness the Bruins needed to make an emergency call up. On Tuesday Peter Chiarelli announced on Tuesday that the team has recalled Jeremy Smith from Providence to back up Niklas Svedberg, opting not to call up Malcolm Subban. Subban who played in his only NHL game on February 20th was yanked after allowing 3 goals on 3 straight shots in the 2nd period and has not returned since. A lot of Bruins fans had high hopes for Subban, and in fact there are rumors Buffalo made a major offer for his services during the pre season. This recent call up of Smith seems to indicate a lack of faith in Subban and perhaps with good reason. Smith has now played 1 more game then Subban for Providence and has posted a save percentage .012 points better then Subban's. Perhaps Chiarelli and the Bruins are looking back at the Buffalo offer with regret.
