2021 Providence Bruins preview: Three foes and lots of uncertainty

On March 11, 2020, the Providence Bruins were riding a high.

The hottest team in the AHL, Providence had just beaten Hartford, 3-1, to secure its franchise-record 12th consecutive victory.

The team was hitting its stride and looking like a Calder Cup favorite. But less than 24 hours later, all that championship talk ceased as the AHL suspended its 2019-20 season indefinitely, like every other North American sports league.

Ultimately, the season was cancelled, no championship was awarded, and the Providence winning streak was frozen at 12.

Nearly a year later, the Providence Bruins took the ice not only in search of elusive and lucky win number 13 in-a-row, but to simply get back to some semblance of normalcy.
