In the stretch run for minor league hockey, both Bruins affiliates have suddenly hit their stride. Providence continues to have a strong season while Atlanta looks to be finding its form at the right time.
Providence Bruins
After dropping the opening contest of a six-game homestand, Providence caught fire, winning five in a row, including two this weekend.
On Friday, Providence rolled to a 7-4 win over the Springfield Falcons fueled by three-point nights from Paul Carey and Brendan Gaunce.
Sunday’s contest with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins was a bit closer, but Providence held on for the 2-1 win despite late pushback from the visitors.
