Checkers' Losing Streak Runs to Five with Loss in Providence
January 28, 2024 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Charlotte Checkers News Release
The Checkers' busy weekend ended in tough fashion as they fell to the Bruins 6-1.
After Providence built up a 2-0 lead with a pair in the middle frame, Wilmer Skoog converted a slick goal on a late power play to send the Checkers into the second intermission trailing by just a goal.
The Bruins stepped on the gas in the third, however, potting four unanswered tallies to leave the Checkers in the rear view. Charlotte finished the night with 27 shots on Providence netminder Brandon Bussi, but Skoog's was the only one to find the back of the net and the Checkers limped out of the busy weekend with their fifth consecutive loss.
