In the midst of a tight playoff race, the Providence Bruins picked up a huge 4-2 victory over their rival the Springfield Thunderbirds on Saturday to maintain their hold on fourth place in the Atlantic Division. But that wasn’t the only noteworthy news that came out of the Dunkin Donuts Center that night, as defenseman and second-year captain Tommy Cross skated in his 279th contest for the P-Bruins, passing Jay Henderson for most games played in P-Bruins history.
Now in his sixth season in pro hockey, Cross has registered 23 goals and 74 assists for 97 points along with a plus-35 rating thus far in his American Hockey League career.
