PORTLAND, ME. - The Providence Bruins fell to the Portland Pirates 3-2 in overtime at Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, Maine. Ian White and Craig Cunningham each registered a goal and an assist for Providence in the loss.

The P-Bruins kicked off the scoring on the powerplay when Craig Cunningham tallied his fourth goal of the season at 14:14 of the period. Ian White and Ryan Spooner were credited with the assists. Portland center Alexandre Bolduc was able to even things up at 1-1 when he snuck one by P-Bruins goaltender Jeremy Smith who, despite the goal, stood tall during the period to stop 19 of the 20 shots he faced.

Shots on goal weren't as lopsided in the second, with the Pirates outshooting Providence 11-10. Henrik Samuelsson scored for Portland at 5:37, assisted by Bolduc and Martinook, to put Portland up 2-1.
