The past week has been quite the whirlwind across the entire Boston Bruins organization. The Jake Debrusk trade rumors, injuries galore, and Bruce Cassidy hitting the COVID list would’ve been enough, but when you factor in a full team shutdown in Providence it makes for dark times all around.
While the Providence Bruins looked to have gained some momentum after what has been a slow start to the new season, the team entered a pause after several positive COVID tests were reported. On the ice, Providence had a strong week, dropping a tightly-contested matchup in overtime, 4-3, to the Hershey Bears (Washington Capitals) to open the week before wins over the Bridgeport Islanders, 3-2, and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, 5-1.
