  • Ferlin Overtime Hero in 3-2 Win Over Toronto
    FERLIN OVERTIME HERO IN 3-2 WIN OVER TORONTO Providence, RI - Brian Ferlin scored twice including the overtime winner in tonight’s 3-2 win over the #1 team in the Eastern Conference, the Toronto Marlies. The Providence Bruins have now gone 23 games in a row at home without a loss in regulation. The Providence Bruins lacked their usual chemistry in the first and had trouble connecting all over the ice. Toronto was able to capitalize and score two goals in the first period, the first of which was a quick one timer the second a long range wrist shot that shot off the cross bar. The P-Bruins found their feet more in the second period but did not manage to put themselves on the board. Colton Hargrove had the most legitimate scoring chance of the period when he crashed the net, but Bibeau just managed to keep it from crossing the line. Neither team had a power through the first two frames. Providence came out with inspired play in the third and scored twice in a matter of 1:18. Alexander Khokhlachev broke the scoring drought for the P-Bruins 2:23 into the last frame, with assists going to Austin Czarnik and Frankie Vatrano. Ferlin scored shortly after to tie the game at 2-2. Ferlin carried the puck into the zone and passed to Colin Miller who shot banked off of Bibeau’s pads. Ferlin crashed the net and put the puck in the back of the net for his 2nd of the season. For the second night in a row, Providence responded in the third period to force overtime.

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips February 26, 2015 NHL fines Sabres goalie Neuvirth for diving vs. Predators Associated Press February 25, 2015 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The NHL has fined Buffalo Sabres goalie Michal Neuvirth $2,000 for diving and embellishment after drawing a penalty in a game against the Nashville Predators last weekend. The disciplinary action announced on Wednesday was a second offense for Neuvirth. The first offense merited a warning, and occurred during a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Nov. 15. Fines increase with each instance up to $5,000 following a fifth offense. The punishment came after the league's Hockey Operations Department reviewed an interference penalty called against Nashville's Mike Santorelli early in the second period of the Predators' 2-1 shootout win. In a separate move, Buffalo returned rookie defenseman Jake McCabe to AHL Rochester. The Sabres had the day off, and host Vancouver on Thursday. Canucks-Sabres preview Associated Press February 25, 2015 Buffalo will have to wait until next season to welcome Ryan Miller back to town. It might also be that long before Sabres All-Star Zemgus Girgensons sees the ice again. With both injured, Miller's surging Vancouver Canucks look to conclude an already successful five-game trip with a third straight victory Thursday night against Buffalo. Miller made 20 saves in a 5-2 win over the Sabres (18-38-5) on Jan. 30, but won't be available in his first trip to Buffalo since the club traded him to St. Louis one year ago Sunday.

  • 4-2 Loss Ends Providence Point Streak
    4-2 LOSS ENDS PROVIDENCE POINT STREAK Providence, RI - After a scoreless first period, the Falcons got on the board 8:18 into the second. Mauermann and DiSalvatore notched goals in the second period to give Springfield a 2-0 lead. It was a feisty period of hockey with 11 penalties issued in the first 20 minutes of play. Colton Hargrove dropped the gloves with Selleck in the 11th minute of play. Khokhlachev cut the Falcon’s lead in half 13 seconds into the power play. Seth Griffith dished the puck to Ben Yours, who fired a shot from the blue line, with Khokhlachev’s deflection finding the back of the net. Tension ran high in the second period with the refs needing to separate the two teams on multiple occasions. Seth Griffith tied at 2-2 the game on the only power play of the third period. David Pastrnak and Colby Cave tallied the assists. This was Pastrnak’s first game with the Providence Bruins during the 2015-16 season on a conditioning assignment after having suffered a fractured foot while up with the Boston Bruins. Monardo scored the go ahead goal 18:12 into the third when his snipe from the top of the circle soared over Subban’s glove. Ex-Providence Bruin Craig Cunningham potted the empty netter a minute later to give the Falcons the 4-2 win. This loss ends the P-Bruins 9 game point streak. Griffith has recorded at least a point in 6 of the last 8 games and has gone 5-8-13 in the month of December.
