BRIDGEPORT, CT. – Nine different Providence skaters recorded a point as a three-goal second period propelled the P-Bruins to a 3-2 victory over the Bridgeport Islanders on Friday night at Webster Bank Arena. All three of Providence’s goals came in the span of just five minutes and 43 seconds, one of which was on the power play. Providence outshot Bridgeport, 32-30, and now lead the season series, 2-1.

“Our first period I thought we were a little asleep at the wheel, but the guys did a good job of rectifying it and I thought we did a good job after that of making Bridgeport earn their ice.
“We were able to hold onto some pucks in the offensive zone and make some plays. The power play stepped up and got a big goal for us. We got the big penalty kill when we needed it and I thought the PK was really sharp. I’m really proud of the guys. We’ll celebrate this victory and get prepared for tomorrow.
“I thought Fogarty’s line kind of set the tone. They were really good. They all read very well off each other and they’re playing with confidence, which is great to see. Even defensively and away from the puck, they’ve been just as good.
“Usually when you have offensive guys like that, they tend to cheat, but not these three. I’m impressed with Froden and how hard he plays. Steen has really grown as a player and Fogarty is elite at this level. I think he’s a real elite American League player that has a lot of upside even at the NHL level.”
