The Providence Bruins didn’t win either of their games over the weekend, but they did manage to earn two out of four points by losing in overtime and in a shootout.

On Saturday, the P-Bruins gave up a one-goal lead in the third period before losing, 3-2, in OT to the Charlotte Checkers. On Sunday, Providence came from behind to tie the game in the third period, but then lost in the shootout, 3-2, to the Syracuse Crunch. Both games were at home.

“From a staff perspective, our overall feeling is we played really hard and had a lot of chances. We just didn’t finish. That happens sometimes, but I liked our effort a lot more (Sunday) than I did (Saturday), for sure,” said coach Ryan Mougenel after Sunday’s game.

“We’re just not finding the greasy goals that we were early on. We’ve got to get back to that, a little bit more of a workman’s mentality and maybe not be so fine at times offensively.”

Providence now hits the road for games in Hershey, Utica, Syracuse and Lehigh Valley. They are third in the AHL with a points percentage of .667 on the road.

“I think it’s good for the team, for sure, to be on the road and be around each other, enjoy each other and get back to having some fun and playing the way we need to play to have success,” said Mougenel.

Here’s the good, bad and ugly.

GOOD

— Providence continues to hold tight to second place in the Atlantic Division – and a bye in the opening round of the playoffs — with a 36-18-4-3 record with 11 games left in the regular season. They are six points ahead of the third-place Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins with two games in hand.

— Brandon Bussi made 45 saves on Saturday night. It was the second straight game in which he stopped over 40 shots.

— John Farinacci assisted on both Providence goals on Saturday night.

— Against Charlotte, Reilly Walsh scored his third goal in three games.

— Anthony Richard scored a goal and had six shots against Syracuse.

— Providence’s power play went 2 for 3 on Saturday and scored the game-tying goal on Sunday.

BAD

— Daniel Walcott of Syracuse knocked Alec Regula out of the game with an unpenalized hit along the boards late in the second period on Sunday, then Walcott declined to answer the bell when challenged by Dan Renouf, Regula’s defense partner. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Walcott hears from the league about the hit.

— Providence gave up 48 shots against the Checkers and was outshot in the first period, 18-6.

— The P-Bruins have lost their last three games — one in regulation time, one in overtime and one in a shootout.

— The offense, which is tied for fifth in the AHL with 205 goals, has scored only two goals in each of the last three games.

UGLY

— Injured: Fabian Lysell, Alec Regula.

Lysell, second on the team in scoring with 15-35-50 in 55 games, and Regula, who has an AHL-best plus-36, are important players for Providence.

“He’s gonna miss, probably, significant time, I would imagine. It’s disappointing. He was starting to play really well,” Mougenel said of Lysell.
