Providence Bruins News Release
Providence, RI -- The Providence Bruins, in the midst of a three-game weekend against North Division opponents, tallied three power play goals to skate to a 3-2 victory over the Lowell Lock Monsters at the Dunkin' Donuts Center Providence on Saturday night. The win elevated the Bruins' record to 4-2-1-1 (9 points), moving them past the Lock Monsters into second place in the division.
Providence right wing Lee Goren notched his second and third goals of the season, while center Matt Herr fired home his fifth of the year. Herr, who also had an assist, has now tallied the winning goal in all four Bruin victories and leads the AHL in that category. Bruin captain Rich Brennan chipped in with two assists, and has points (0-4-4) in three straight games.
Goaltender Andrew Raycroft stopped 28 shots and is 3-2-1 on the season.
