The Providence Bruins are 13-3-0 to start the season. They looked like they'd be one of the better AHL teams on paper when the roster began to take shape, and so far they've almost outperformed those expectations. The strength of their roster has been their forward depth, but the defense and goaltending have become the story.
Which leads us to the odd storyline of Providence's season. It is worth noting that the Baby Bruins' goaltenders have given them a chance to win all 16 games they've played this season, as the three losses have all been by shutout.
