The Boston Bruins on Friday morning recalled goaltender Malcolm Subban from Providence of the AHL, assigning backup goalie Niklas Svedberg to the P-Bruins for a conditioning stint.

This is Subban’s first NHL recall. In 22 games for the P-Bruins this season, first-round pick (24th overall) in the 2012 NHL draft posted a 9-10-2 record, along with a 2.31 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage.

In his past three starts, the 21-year-old netminder is 2-1-0 and allowed only three goals on 91 shots to earn the AHL’s player of the week honors.

Svedberg has played 12 games for the Bruins this season, registering a 5-5-0 record with a 2.22 GAA and a .922 SP. He also has two shutouts. Svedberg, 25, last played on Jan. 8 against the New Jersey Devils.
