At long last, we have reached the end of the regular season for both the AHL and ECHL. Both Boston Bruins’ affiliates, the Providence Bruins and Maine Mariners, have qualified for the postseason in their respective leagues, with home ice still on the line as we enter the final weekend of regular season play.
Providence is alive for the top seed in the Atlantic Division, just one point behind the Hershey Bears (Washington Capitals) with three games to play. Providence defeated Hershey, 3-1, last Wednesday at home before earning the same result against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (Pittsburgh Penguins) on Friday.
