Kyle Keyser called up after injury to Vladar

Kyle Keyser, the best goalie prospect in the Bruins organization, started this season in the ECHL with the Atlanta Gladiators. The goal was for Keyser to get as much action as he can this year to further his develop.

Keyser, however, got the call up to Providence on Thursday after Daniel Vladar went down with an injury.

Vladar picked up the injury in Wednesday’s game against Laval. According to Mark Divver, it’s a leg injury that is considered week-to-week.

Vladar’s injury likely means Maxime Legace will get most of the playing time for Providence. More importantly, the injury gives Keyser a chance to showcase his talents against better competition.

Keyser’s still young, so he’s still some time away from making an impact in Boston. But, his call up to Providence gives us a closer look at the potential goalie of the future.

At this point in his career, any playing time Keyser sees with Providence will be important for his development. He’ll face strong competition and get a feel for the Bruins system.

Look for Keyser to start one of the two upcoming games for Providence.
