Related Topics: Exorcism, Providence Bruins

When the Providence Bruins entered the overtime period tied with Syracuse 1-1, the thought of not having won a playoff game in the extra frame since 2015 – four of those losses coming this year alone – entered the minds of fans at the Dunkin Donuts Center during Game 2 on Sunday night. Jordan Szwarz made those thoughts disappear.

Szwarz’s second goal of the game 8:28 into overtime Zane McIntyre’s 29 saves helped Providence snap their eight-game playoff overtime losing streak with a 2-1 win over Syracuse and evened their best of seven Eastern Conference series at 1-1.
