According to The Providence Journal Bruins Blog, Providence Bruins captain Trent Whitfield is out indefinitely with an eye injury.
Whitfield sustained the injury during the third period of Sunday's 2-0 win over the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. The forward was hit in the eye by the stick of Scott Howes late in the period and Whitfield fell to the ice. He had his gloves off holding his face and in obvious pain but play continued and there was no call on the play. After a few moments Whitfield skated off the ice and immediately headed to the dressing room.
The Providence captain had only returned to the line up less than two weeks earlier after missing the beginning of the season due to concussion.
