The Bruins sent Brown to AHL Providence on Saturday, according to Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal.
Brown was a minus-1 in 12:42 of action Thursday in a 7-2 loss to Dallas. The 32-year-old had three goals and four assists in 12 appearances with Providence before his recall. The Bruins recalled Georgi Merkulov from the AHL in a corresponding move.
