Vladar, Naclerio Head to Providence

The Atlanta Gladiators announced Thursday that the NHL's Boston Bruins have reassigned goaltender Dan Vladar to Providence of the AHL while forward Mark Naclerio has been recalled by the P-Bruins.

Vladar returns to Providence where he has yet to lose in regulation so far this season. The 19-year-old goaltender has registered a 3-0-1 record with a 2.84 goals-against average and a 0.914 save percentage this season with the Glads' AHL affiliate.

Naclerio earns the call-up back to Providence where he started the year by notching one goal in seven games played. The former Brown University captain has registered 25 points in 33 games with the Gladiators this season.

Both rookies are set to join the P-Bruins amidst their tight Atlantic Division playoff race and before their three games in as many nights this weekend in Hartford and Albany.
