With a hellacious 6-3 beating of the Hartford Wolfpack earlier today, the Providence Bruins climbed to the highest heights they were allowed to do so under their format: Atlantic Division Champions.
Last week we detailed how the Calder Cup was cancelled as a result of the ongoing [gestures at everything], and as a result their 3 team division was now in a race to win the Emile Francis Trophy. Though the P-B’s had been strong, they also had strong competition in the Wolfpack, who began surging right as the P-B’s went through a late season slump, leading to this game actually being fairly stakes heavy.
