Spooner was assigned to AHL Providence on Monday, Amalie Benjamin of the Boston Globe reports.

Analysis:

Spooner and a couple other players will head over to Providence to get the last few reps of the 2014-15 season now that the Bruins have missed the playoffs. The 23-year-old appeared in 29 games for Boston this season and produced 18 points. He'll likely be locked into a full-time role with the parent club in 2015-16.
