Norfolk, VA. - The Providence Bruins defeatd the Norfolk Admirals 5-4 Friday night at the Norfolk Scope. Providence got goals from Matt Fraser, Carter Camper, Bobby Robins, Matthew Lindblad, and Ryan Spooner.
Both Providence and Norfolk struggled to find some consistent play early on in the first period. Fraser opened the scoring at the 12:48 mark of the first period, off of a centering pass from Nick Johnson. Fraser outdueled the Norfolk defender for the one-timer goal. Two and half minutes later, Carter Camper put the P-Bruins up by 2 on the power play, depositing a loose puck into the net. Thirty seconds later, Bobby Robins picked up a loose puck in-front of the net and backhanded the puck into the net for a 3-0 Bruins lead at the 15:48 mark of the 1st period. Providence outshot Norfolk 13-7 after the 1st.
The P-Bruins came out strong to start the second period but were unable to extend their three goal lead. Devante Smith-Pelly made it 3-1 on the power play 6:21 into the 2nd period. Following the goal, the teams started exchanging opportunities but were unable to change the score. Shots were 29-19 in favor of Providence after two periods.
In the third period, Lindblad scored his third goal of the year, 2:48 into the period, to extend the P-Bruins lead back to three. Antoine Laganiere scored eight minutes later to give Norfolk some hope in coming back into the game. Three minutes later Steven Whitney scored his sixth of the season to cut the lead to 4-3. Whitney hopped on a loose puck, in the slot, and wristed a shot by Niklas Svedberg. Ryan Spooner got a bit of luck a minute later, as the puck fell to his stick and he was able to beat a sprawling John Gibson to increase the P-Bruins lead back to two. With under five minutes to play, the game looked all but over, until Jesse Blacker was able to get his point shot through all the bodies in-front of Svedberg. Norfolk had 40 seconds to try and tie the game up but Svedberg and the P-Bruins shut the door.
