The Charlotte Checkers sticks came alive as they beat the Providence Bruins 8-2 at Bojangles Coliseum on Saturday night. Charlotte peppered Providence with 43 shots, Alex Nedeljkovic made 16 saves for his 9th win of the season, and Sergey Tolchinsky tacked on a goal and two assists.
The first period was a quiet affair with not many substantial offensive chances. Sergey Tolchinsky streaked in from the right side just five minutes into the game and pulled off a between the legs deke before firing a shot on net but to no avail.
