Providence Bruins News Release
WEEKEND SPLIT
The result of last weekend's home-and-home series with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms ended in a split, where both road teams won in overtime. On Friday night, the P-Bruins led 4-2 heading into the third period, and hung on to get a point as the Phantoms took the game 5-4 in overtime. On Saturday, the P-Bruins trailed 1-0 heading into the third period. Joey Abate scored with just under ten minutes remaining, followed by an overtime winner from Vinni Lettieri 52 seconds into overtime.
LETTIERI'S LEAD
"We've been struggling in the last hand full of games with closing teams out and doing the little things. We found a way back which was huge for us and our identity. Our mentality was to get more shots. We only had about eight shots going into the third so I think the shooting mentality was big for us. Abate came up huge on that goal and that kickstarted everything." -Vinni Lettieri on Saturday's game
PB's IN THE COMMUNITY
Members of the Providence Bruins will board a RIPTA bus and deliver toys to Hasbro Children's hospital today, December 20. The toys were collected during drives at home games this December and purchased by P-Bruins players on a shopping trip to Target last week. Content will be posted on the team social media channels, @AHLBruins on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.
