Providence Bruins News Release
ROAD POINTS
The Providence Bruins took four of a possible six points last week, capping off 2022 with a bang. They fell to the Bears 1-0 on Dec. 28, sparking the offense to score four goals in each of the next two games to defeat the Penguins and the Bears again both by 4-3 scores. Oskar Steen notched a goal and two assists in the win over the Penguins, while Luke Toporowski posted a goal and assist in the win over the Bears on New Years Eve.
WAGS ON WINS
"It was big for us. We were kind of in a rut for four or five games. To win those games was really big for us and for our confidence going into the week. " -Chris Wagner
TOP LINE SHAKE UP
Head Coach Ryan Mougenel tried multiple different combinations after Fabian Lysell left to play in the World Junior Championships, ultimately deciding on the combination of Wagner, Lettieri, and Steen. The top line posted a combined seven points in the last two wins.
UP NEXT
The Providence Bruins will play two of three games on the road this week, beginning with the Bridgeport Islanders at Total Mortgage Arena on Wednesday and Saturday, both at 7:00 PM. The team closes the week with a home game at the Amica Mutual Pavilion against the Utica Comets on Sunday at 3:05 PM. You can catch the games live on AHLTV, or follow the action on live Twitter @AHLBruins.
