Lowell, MA - The Providence Bruins fell to the Lowell Devils 4-3 Saturday evening at the Tsongas Arena. The P-Bruins got a goal from David Krejci and two goals from T.J. Trevelyan. Providence remains in third place in the Atlantic Division with 84 points and a 40-30-1-3 record, five points behind the second place Hartford Wolf Pack.

The P-Bruins took the 1-0 lead at the 4:41 mark when they scored only 25 seconds into their first power play of the game. Ben Walter dug the puck free along the right boards and passed the puck to Matt Lashoff at the far point. He took a shot, which was saved by Devils net minder Jordan Parise, but the rebound came right to Trevelyan who was parked in the slot. He slid the puck into the net. Providence went up 2-0 at the 9:46 mark. This time Sean Bentivoglio sent a centering pass to Trevelyan, who blasted the puck into the net top shelf. Lowell battled back to tie the game at two heading into the first intermission. Their first goal came at the 14:45 mark. Chris Minard picked up a loose puck in front of the P-Bruins net and put it past Providence goaltender Hannnu Toivonen. Dan McGillis had the lone assist. The second Devils goal came on the power play at the 18:10 mark. Mike Mottau scored his first goal of the season on a shot from just inside the blue line with Grant Marshall and Ryan Murphy recording the assists.

The P-Bruins retook the lead at the 9:48 mark of the second period. Martins Karsums held the puck in the zone and shuffled it off to Nate DiCasmirro. He made a pass to Krejci, who was all alone in front of the net. Krejic waited for Parise to commit to one side of the net then sent the puck in the opposite direction into a half open net to give the P-Bruins the 3-2 lead. With time running out in the second period the Devils knotted the game at three. At the 17:12 mark Grant Marshall sent the puck into the Providence net from the right face off circle. Murphy had the lone assist as the game went into the second intermission tied at three.

In the third period, on their second power play of the game the Devils capitalized at the 5:26 mark. David Clarkson snuck the puck between the post and Toivonen to give Lowell their first lead of the game. Minard and McGillis had the assists as the Devils held on for the 4-3 victory.

Toivonen stopped 33 of 37 shots for the P-Bruins, while Parise made 42 saves for the Devils. Providence was 1 for 4 on the power play, while Lowell went 2 for 3 on the man-advantage.
