Coming off a pair of sweeps last weekend, Boston Bruins’ affiliates Providence and Maine were flying high and playing their best at the right time.
That optimism and momentum quickly ceased over the weekend, however, as the teams combined to go 1-6-0 in last week’s contests.
Providence opened the week with a win at the Toronto Marlies (Maple Leafs), 3-1, last Tuesday. The following day, Providence suffered a 4-1 setback at the Belleville Senators. Looking to turn things around, Providence welcomed divisional rival Bridgeport Islanders to town for two over the weekend.
While the P-Bruins handled the Islanders in last year’s abbreviated season, the matchup has been less then favorable this year.
