Talbot contributed his first and third point of the period 16:50 into the 1st. His wrist shot from the high slot made it 3-0 for Providence - Griffith and Ferlin credited with the helpers. The P-Bruins did not let up in the second period, beating the Penguins to nearly every 50/50 puck and playing a fast, 200-foot game. Colin Miller added a tally 13:38 into the second with a big slap shot from the blue line going bar-down on Jarry.
