Springfield Falcons News Release
Providence, R.I. - The Springfield Falcons fell to the Providence Bruins, 4-2, this afternoon at the Dunkin' Donuts Center.
The Falcons wrapped up their three-in-three with four points this weekend and are currently second in the Northeast Division with 60 points. The team sits at 28-17-4-0 on the season and has a 4-3-0-0 lead in the 10-game season series with the Bruins.
Springfield goaltender Scott Munroe turned away 39 of 43 shots in defeat, while Providence goaltender Niklas Svedberg stopped 31 of 33. The Falcons were unable to convert on three power play opportunities. The penalty kill unit shut down the Bruins' only man-advantage.
The Bruins opened scoring 3:41 into the first period. Rob Flick threw the puck through the neutral zone and up to Andrew Cherniwchan at the blue line. He beat the Falcons defenders and got past Munroe for his third of the season. David Warsofsky earned credit for the secondary assist.
The Falcons responded less than four minutes later to close out the first period tied, 1-1. Mike Cornell fired a shot from the point that was redirected by Adam Cracknell. Svedberg appeared to make the save, but the puck trickled through his pads and into the net. Josh Anderson earned a point for the secondary assist.
Providence kicked-off their second period scoring at the 13:36 mark. Seth Griffith backhanded a shot past Munroe with the help of Justin Florek and Ben Youds to break the tie.
The Falcons were quick to respond again, knotting the teams, 2-2, 1:36 later. Kerby Rychel passed to Austin Madaisky in the high slot. Madaisky then fed Anderson to the left of the crease. Anderson fired a shot on net that was stopped, picked up his own rebound and chipped it in for his second point of the night.
A late second period rally built up a 4-2 lead for the Bruins. Tyler Randell let off a slap shot from the top of the right wing circle during a two-on-one rush to give the Bruins their third lead of the contest. Warsofsky added one more, just 21 seconds before the horn, off assists from Florek and Ryan Spooner.
A scoreless third period secured a 4-2 victory for the Bruins.
The Falcons are back in action on Feb. 13 when they travel to face the Manchester Monarchs.
