James Hagens arrived, and now that he has played a pro game with the Bruins, he cannot go back to college.<\/p>\n
The Bruins\u2019 seventh-overall pick made his presence felt in Providence. He picked up a goal and an assist in his first three games, but even in a loss, the P-Bruins bench boss had positive things to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The other five bowed out, but some still got on the board in the NCAA regional round.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bruins\u2019 minor league affiliates are both booked for the playoffs. The Providence Bruins won two of three, but are still on top of the AHL, and the Maine Mariners swept the weekend, picked up four more points, and a spot in the playoffs.<\/p>\n
