When the calendar flips to January, it offers a turning point for teams looking to change the trajectory of their seasons. For both Boston Bruins affiliates, this sentiment is true in different ways.
AHL affiliate Providence Bruins have hung around in the middle of the pack for the first half of the season, and now look to springboard up the standings and peak towards the end of the season. That work began last weekend with a home-and-home series sweep of the Springfield Thunderbirds (St. Louis Blues), winning on the road, 4-3, in a shootout before a 6-3 triumph at home on Sunday.
