Springfield Falcons News Release
Springfield, Mass. - The Springfield Falcons were edged by the Providence Bruins, 2-1, tonight in front of a sold out crowd at the MassMutual Center.
The Falcons have fallen in the last four games, taking them to 26-13-4-0 on the season and 4-2-0-0 in the 10-game season series with the Bruins. Springfield will enter the All-Star break second in the Northeast Division with 56 points.
Falcons goaltender Anton Forsberg stopped 29 of 31 shots on net. His Bruins counterpart Malcolm Subban saved 30 of 31. Springfield was able to capitalize on one of five power play opportunities, while stopping three of four Providence man-advantages.
Providence kicked-off scoring six minutes into the first period. While on the man-advantage, Ryan Spooner carried a puck into the Falcons' zone. He threw it into the slot and set up Seth Griffith for a one-timer. Zach Trotman earned credit for the secondary assist.
The Falcons tied it up halfway through the middle frame with a power-play tally of their own. After a series of shots on net, Michael Chaput got his stick on the puck and chipped it in for his second goal in as many games. T.J. Tynan and Ryan Craig each picked up a point on the play.
Colin Stuart took back the lead for the Bruins early in the final period with the help of Griffith and Alexander Khokhlachev. The team was able to hang on and top the Falcons, 3-2.
The Falcons are back in action when they host the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins on Friday, Jan. 30 at 7 p.m.
