Checkers Fall Short in 4-3 Loss to Bruins
October 29, 2021 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Charlotte Checkers News Release
The Checkers and Bruins locked in a back-and-forth affair Friday night, but it was Providence that emerged victorious by a 4-3 score.
Charlotte's offense broke the ice late in the first thanks to a power-play snipe from Grigori Denisenko, but that would be the only conversion they saw on six man advantages across the night.
The scoring bounced between the two sides, with the Bruins erasing Charlotte's original lead within three minutes and the Checkers returning the favor by responding to Providence's subsequent go-ahead tally less than 90 seconds later. The game's difference came on either side of the second intermission, as the Bruins took a 3-2 lead with under three to play in the middle frame and then doubled that advantage 61 seconds into the third.
That would prove to be enough for the home squad, as Charlotte's late rally ran out of time and the Checkers were handed a road trip-opening defeat.
Both sides fired plenty of rubber on net across regulation, with both Christopher Gibson and Providence's Kyle Keyser stopping 31 shots on the night.
