BUFFALO -- After the Bruins’ 4-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres Saturday night at First Niagara Center, Boston forwards Ryan Spooner and Seth Griffith both were assigned to Providence of the AHL.

Griffith played three games for the Bruins this season, while Spooner has played five.

Since veteran forward Simon Gagne has progressed to a point where he’s playing on the top line, and Gregory Campbell returned to the lineup on Thursday, Griffith and Spooner have been healthy scratches.
