All season long, the Providence Bruins have rode their high-scoring forwards to success. With Frank Vatrano potting goals at a one-per-game pace and Seth Griffith and Alexander Khokhlachev both in the top-4 in the American Hockey League in scoring, it is with little doubt that most of the Bruins’ success is coming from upfront. But lost in the shuffle is the depth of the Providence defensemen. Providing some of that depth is fourth-year veteran Chris Casto.
Now that Providence is gearing up for the Calder Cup playoffs, the Bruins’ defensive depth will be key if they are to make a deep run.
