Both sides got some great chances throughout the first period but at the buzzer it was still Providence one WBS Penguins zero looking at 40 more minutes of hockey to play.

The Penguins got some great chances in the beginning of he second but Subban keeps his team in the lead. It wouldn’t be until 6:44 left in the second that Reid McNeil would find the back of the net to make it a one to one game, giving WBS some momentum.

At the end of the second period the WBS Penguins left the ice even up at one with the Bruins. WBS did a nice job of limiting Providence in shot only allowing four during the second but getting eighteen in on Malcolm Subban.

Chuck Kobasew gets called for a trip the first penalty of the game early in the third giving the Bruins power play the first man advantage of the game. Providence scored but it was whistled dead ref said a Penguin played the puck with their hand in the crease and gave the Bruins a penalty shot. Peter Mannino comes up big and keeps it 1-1.
