The Boston Bruins have recalled defenseman Matt Hunwick and center Vladimir Sobotka from Providence. Both players are expected to join Boston today and travel with the team to face the Montreal Canadiens tomorrow night.

Hunwick, 23, earned two assists in his two games this season in Providence. The blue-liner is coming off of a rookie season split between Boston and Providence, notching one assist in 13 games over four call-ups to the big club and 23 points (2g, 21a) in 55 contests for the P-Bruins.

Sobotka, 21, posted back-to-back multiple-point games in a pair of P-Bruins victories this year, and has two goals and four points overall. The second-year center scored the game-winning-goal Sunday afternoon in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Springfield Falcons. Sobotka split the 2007-08 campaign between Boston and Providence, appearing in 48 regular season games with the big club while amassing seven points (g, 6a). He played in six playoff games for Boston, scoring two goals against Montreal.
