On a weekend when the Boston Bruins uncharacteristically fell flat at home, the team’s two minor league affiliates notched a perfect weekend going a combined 4-0-0 to help improve playoff positioning.
With two months left to play in the regular season, the Providence Bruins now own first place in the Atlantic Division, while the Maine Mariners are entrenched in a battle for second place in the ECHL North Division, one point back of Reading with two games in hand.
Providence took down the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (Pittsburgh Penguins) in a home-and-home last weekend, earning a 4-3 shootout victory at home on Friday and eking out a 3-1 win Saturday night on the road.
