Springfield Falcons News Release
The Springfield Falcons lost to the Providence Bruins 4-1 in front of 4,764 at the MassMutual Center on Saturday night. The Bruins opened the scoring at 6:25 of the first period when Jonathan Sigalet fired a puck through a crowd of players in front that found the back of the net. Just 1:19 later, Chris Collins gave Providence a 2-0 advantage when he scored his 15th marker of the season.

In the second period, Springfield cut their deficit to 2-1 when Rob Schremp scored on the power play at 13:31, but Providence answered with a power play marker of their own at 18:59 when Martins Karsums' wrist shot beat Falcons goaltender Devan Dubnyk.
The Bruins added an insurance goal at 8:56 of the third period when Matt Lashoff tallied on the power play.
