The Providence Bruins and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins battled to a 2-2 tie in front of 7,458 fans on a snowy night at the Dunkin' Donuts Center Providence on Friday, as the teams wrapped up their two-game season series. The Bruins won the other meeting, 1-0 in Wilkes-Barre on November 9. With the tie, head coach Scott Gordon's club remains in third place in the Atlantic Division with its 11-8-5-0 record (27 points). The Black and Gold is just two points behind the division-leading Manchester Monarchs and Hartford Wolf Pack.

Bruin defenseman Rich Brennan notched the game-tying goal on a second period power play. The goal was the Bruin captain's third of the season.

Goaltender Hannu Toivonen stopped 23 shots and is 6-4-2 on the season.

Bruin right wing Pat Leahy was recalled by the Boston Bruins following the game.
