Boston Bruins fans are looking at the stats in Providence and wondering why they are stuck with a bunch of grinders while Providence has a top-six loaded with talent. Through the team's first four games, six players have two or more goals, and seven players have five or more points.
Georgii Merkulov is leading the way with two goals and five assists, while Fabian Lysell, Alex Steeves, and Matej Blumel are tight behind with six points apiece. Lysell, Steeves, and Riley Tufte are in a tie for the team lead with three goals each.
The scary thing for Providence is that Matthew Poitras and Dans Locmelis haven't settled in completely yet, as Poitras has just five assists and Locmelis has a goal and two assists.
