The results were mixed for the injury depleted Providence Bruins this weekend. They didn’t win either of their games, but they did earn two points in a pair of overtime losses.

Every team goes through injuries and with regulars Alec Regula, Fabian Lysell and Reilly Walsh out, Providence’s lineup is much thinner than it was a couple of weeks ago.

There’s no sugarcoating Friday night’s result. The P-Bruins did not play well in a 3-2 OT loss at Lehigh Valley. They were much better at home on Saturday, but fell to the Rochester Americans in overtime, 3-2.

“It was a great response. We deserved a better fate, for sure. (Devon Levi) was outstanding – he made some unbelievable saves. The first period, early on, we should have been up by four,” said coach Ryan Mougenel after Saturday’s game.

“Did we outplay them? For sure. Did we manage the game better? I don’t think so. That’s something that needs to be addressed. When you’re holding onto a lead and you have the ability to get inside and win a puck – these are some of the things we’re looking for in our players. Especially, because we’re a bit shorthanded right now. We need guys that don’t normally do stuff like that, to do that.

“The game-tying goal, it’s not that it’s a mistake. It’s a competitive lapse. Those are tough, but lesson learned. Our back end had some youth to it and I think they did a real good job of responding the right way.”

Here’s the good, bad and ugly.

GOOD

— With six games left in the regular season, Providence is 38-19-6-3 and has 85 points. They are in second place in the Atlantic Division, four points ahead of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins  and Charlotte Checkers. The P-Bruins have a game in hand on both teams and remain in good position to earn a bye in the first round of the Calder Cup playoffs if they take care of business.

— Jayson Megna is on fire with 4-6-10 in his last five games. He earned the primary assist on Ian Mitchell’s power play goal on Saturday and then finished off a pretty passing play for a goal in the second period. It was a well-executed setup as Anthony Richard hit Georgii Merkulov with a pass and Merkulov put the puck right on Megna’s tape at the edge of the blue paint for the goal. Megna has 18-33-51 in 64 games.

— Anthony Richard had a goal on Friday and two helpers on Saturday. He has 5-4-9 in his last six games and 25-26-51 in 54 games for the season.

— Oskar Steen came back from a facial injury to score a goal on Friday. He has three goals in his last three games.

— Ian Mitchell made a nice pass to Anthony Richard for a power play goal on Friday and scored a power play goal himself on Saturday.

— The power play went 1 for 1 on Friday and 1 for 3 on Saturday.

— Saturday’s home game drew a crowd of 10,006.

BAD

— The team arrived home from Pennsylvania at 3 a.m. on Saturday, then 16 hours later had to face a Rochester team that had Friday night off.

— The P-Bruins frittered away a 2-0 first period lead against the Phantoms.

— They were outshot, 33-15, against Lehigh Valley.

— Three of Providence’s six defensemen on Saturday were rookies. One of them was playing college hockey a couple of weeks ago and one has spent the season in the ECHL. No disrespect to anyone, but it’s very hard to win in the AHL with inexperienced D.

— John Farinacci’s gone 13 games without a goal. Trevor Kuntar doesn’t have a point in his last 11 games.

UGLY
