How It Happened
Ahcan slid the puck to Mike Reilly at the point, who fired a slap shot that was deflected and trickled onto the stick of McLaughlin to the left of the crease, where he flipped it in on the forehand for a power play goal to give the P-Bruins a 1-0 lead with 7:02 left in the second period.
Mitchell Fossier rimmed the puck from the left corner up the boards to Ahcan at the point, who walked it down to the top of the left circle and fired a snapshot glove side, extending the Providence lead to 2-0 with 15:20 remaining in the third period. Curtis Hall was credited with the secondary assist.
A cross-crease feed found Karl Henriksson just off the right post for a tap-in to cut the P-Bruins lead to 2-1 with 12:40 to play in the third period.
Bobby Trivigno wristed a shot from the bottom of the right circle that hit the back boards and flipped into the air, giving Trivigno time to get to the right post and bat the puck into the net with 9:49 left in the third period.
Jonny Brodzinski beat the goaltender with a shot from the left circle 17 seconds into overtime to give Hartford the victory.
