At the start of the 2022-23 season, the Providence Bruins came out of the gates hot and looked like a team destined for a deep run in the playoffs. With a bevy of young talent and a deep roster, Providence earned points in 12 of its first 13 games and has held first place in the Atlantic Division for much of the season.
But as of late, Providence has dropped off its torrid pace. Over the weekend, Providence scored first in all three of its games, but could only muster a trio of goals total. Providence fell, 7-1, at Bridgeport Islanders (New York Islanders) on Friday and on Sunday at the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (Philadelphia Flyers).
