Spring time means playoff time in the world of professional hockey.
And for both Boston Bruins’ affiliates in Providence and Maine, the playoff push is well and truly on. The Providence Bruins and Maine Mariners remain in contention for a playoff spot, with the former still in the hunt for a division title and home ice in the playoffs.
But for Providence, their hopes of a one seed began to dwindle over the weekend with losses to the Springfield Thunderbirds (St. Louis Blues), 1-0, the Syracuse Crunch (Tampa Bay Lightning), 4-1.
