WILMINGTON — The Bruins announced on Friday that they have assigned forward Brian McGrattan to Providence for conditioning. McGrattan, who played with the B’s throughout training camp on a tryout basis, was signed by the team following the second game of the season and has been a healthy scratch in each of the five games he’s technically been a member of the Bruins.

The Bruins plan on having McGrattan play in three games with the Baby B’s before returning to the NHL club this coming Monday. By sending him down for conditioning he does not have to clear waivers.
