When you’re playing as well as Colby Cave has to start the season, you tend to get some lucky breaks. When you get lucky, you tend to play with a bit more confidence.
Cave’s steady improvements during his Providence tenure — mainly his speed and shot — is making him into an assertive and well-rounded player. His confidence from his previous three seasons has carried over into the first eight games this year as Cave sits first on the team in scoring with 10 points (five goals, five assists).
Providence’s 6-1 win over the Bridgeport Soundtigers on Sunday marked Cave’s third multi-point game of the season.
