Through the first month of the 2021-22 minor league hockey seasons, both Boston Bruins affiliates have seen a mixed bag of results. For AHL Providence, a lack of consistency on the offensive end has plagued the Baby B’s in games they should be winning. Meanwhile, for ECHL Maine, their defensive woes have led to some high-scoring affairs and lopsided results.
Last week was a microcosm of the season so far for both affiliates. Down in Providence, the Bruins gutted out a 2-1 overtime win at the Hartford Wolfpack (NY Rangers) on Friday before dropping a 3-1 contest to on Saturday at home to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
