Lukas Reichel returned to Boston almost as quickly as he left.
The Bruins summoned the forward from Providence on an emergency basis Saturday, just 24 hours after they sent him back to the AHL.
The move comes hours after Boston fell 2-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning at TD Garden.
Reichel provided the Bruins with some speed, but he had only one goal and two assists in nine games.
The Bruins acquired the 23-year-old from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick at this year’s trade deadline.
A a 2020 first-round pick by the Chicago Blackhawks , Reichel has 24 goals and 39 assists in 197 NHL games.
The Bruins play their second of a back-to-back Sunday when they play their penultimate regular season game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on the road.
