Recap


This one didn't have anywhere close to as many penalties as last night's game, but it was still an exciting one. In the 1st period, through the first ten minutes, it looked like it could be a low-scoring game. However, that changed in a 2 minute window. Providence got on the board first at the 12:12 mark. Alexander Khokhlachev scored his 12th of the season, from Steve Eminger & Chris Casto. At the 13:49 mark, the Bears would tie it up. Garrett Mitchell scored his 2nd of the season, from Steve Oleksy & Jon Landry. 27 seconds later, the Bruins got the lead back. Ben Sexton scored his 2nd of the season, from Zach Trotman. After the 1st, the Bears had the 12-8 shot advantage.


In the 2nd, the goal spree continued. At the 3:30 mark, the Bears tied it back up. Joel Broda scored his 6th of the season. At the 7:05 mark, they took the 3-2 lead. Chris Brown scored his 13th of the season, from Jon Landry (2nd assist of the night) & Kris Newbury. Later in the period, at the 16:40 mark, the Bears increased their lead to 2. Dustin Gazley scored his 11th of the season, from Kris Newbury (2nd assist of the night). It was around this point that the tiredness of another 3-in-3 weekend started to take its toll on the Bears. One second after a power play ended, 46 seconds before the end of the 2nd, the Bruins made it 4-3. Alexander Khokhlachev scored his 2nd of the night (13th of season), from David Warsofsky & Seth Griffith. After the 2nd, the shots were tied at 20.


In the 3rd, the Bruins completely dominated, even though both penalties went against them. They would have a 15-3 shot advantage in the period, and it all led to a goal to tie the game at 4 (at the 7:30 mark). Rob Flick scored his 11th of the season, from Justin Florek & Ben Youds. Even with that shot advantage, the game would continue into overtime. In the overtime, Jim O'Brien was the hero as he gave the Bears the 5-4 victory. It was his 3rd of the season, from Stanislav Galiev & Erik Burgdoerfer. The Bruins finished with the 37-24 shot advantage.


Next Game: Friday at Binghamton, 7:05
