Much like Game 1, Providence found themselves trailing by three in the third period before making it interesting by scoring two quick goals, only to ultimately fall to the Syracuse Crunch.
The latest blow came Wednesday night in Game 3, as Syracuse held off another late Providence rally to defeat the P-Bruins 5-4 to take a 2-1 series lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference Finals.
Providence found themselves down 1-0 at 8:19 after surrendering their second power-play goal of the series. With Colby Cave serving time for slashing, Syracuse caught the Providence penalty kill flat-footed, winning a few key loose-puck battles.
