P-Bruins Week in Review 2/20/17 – 2/26/17
Providence Bruins Nathan Roberts roberts@pseagency.com, 401.680.4734 Eddie Pannone pannone@pseagency.com P-BRUINS WEEK IN REVIEW 2/20/17 – 2/26/17 Providence, RI – There are just 20 games remaining in the 2016-17 AHL regular season, and after sweeping their set of three weekend games the Providence Bruins remain in strong position to make the playoffs for a fifth straight season. The P-Bruins started their weekend with a home-and-home series against a Bridgeport team they had just one win against all year and a team ahead of them in the standings. After taking the first game at home 2-1, Providence came back from a 3-2 third period deficit by scoring two goals in 15 seconds to win 4-3 in Bridgeport. Their weekend concluded with a 3-0 win over Springfield at the Dunk, Zane McIntyre’s first career shutout. Providence now sits second in both the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference with a record of 33-14-5-4 and 75 points. Those 75 points are second most in the AHL and the team is just four points away from first place. In a loaded division, however, the team will have to continue their good play as fifth place Hershey has 67 points and only the top four teams from each division will make the playoffs. Tommy Cross led the team in scoring for the weekend, posting a goal and three assists while scoring in every game. His lone goal was the game winner on Saturday in Bridgeport and he also upped his team lead in rating to +19.

Kuraly, who scored the overtime winner in Boston’s final outing of 2018 (Dec. 29 at BUF), became the first Bruins player to register a tiebreaking, winning goal in consecutive team games since Brad Marchand did so in three straight contests from March 3-8, 2018. Kuraly now has three game-winning goals in the regular season (122 GP) as well as one in the playoffs (16 GP) – that was scored in double-overtime of Game 5 in the 2017 First Round at OTT (2-0—2). Kuraly has recorded three goals in his past five outings after totaling one through his first 34 games of 2018-19. With the victory, the Bruins (22-14-4, 48 points) – who started the day on the outside of the playoff picture – leapfrogged the idle Sabres (21-13-6, 48 points) and Canadiens (21-14-5, 47 points) to move into third place in the Atlantic Division.
