The Providence Bruins continued to play good hockey over the last week, earning five out of six points.

They beat the Bridgeport Islanders, 5-1, on the road on Wednesday. At home on Saturday, they banked a point in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Springfield Thunderbirds. Then on Sunday they scored four times in the third period for a come-from-behind 5-2 victory over the Hartford Wolf Pack before 10,031 fans at the AMP.

The veterans – especially Vinni Lettieri and Patrick Brown — led the way again on Sunday.

“We talk about them a lot and I don’t even think we talk about them enough. What they bring and who they are, the things they say, the commitment to the game and how much they love the game and how energizing they are for us as a coaching staff to come to the rink,” said coach Ryan Mougenel.

Here’s the good, bad and ugly.

GOOD

— With Sunday’s win, Providence finished the weekend in second place in the Atlantic Division with 68 points. They are three points behind the first-place Hershey Bears and two points ahead of the third-place Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

— The power play is cooking. It went 4 for 6 in the three games. It’s up to 14^th in the AHL at 19.2 percent.

— Vinni Lettieri had a goal and an assist against Bridgeport, an assist against Springfield and a goal and two helpers against Hartford. He leads the team with 20-28-48 in 46 games.

— Patrick Brown scored twice against Bridgeport and recorded two helpers against Springfield and Hartford. He has 6-10-16 in his last nine games.

— Tyler Pitlick had a goal and an assist against the Islanders.

— Riley Tufte scored twice against Springfield and once against Hartford.

— Max Jones had 1-1-2 against the Wolf Pack.

— The fourth line of Trevor Kuntar, Brett Harrison and Joey Abate had a terrific game on Sunday.

Kuntar goaded Hartford’s Alex Belzile into taking 17 minutes in penalties and had a game-high seven shots. Harrison was credited with an assist on Lettieri’s tying goal  and Abate sparked positive energy with a crushing check and a fight three minutes into the game.

“I thought Kuntar, Harry and Abate were really kind of the difference (Sunday). They did a good job of playing how we need to play. Abate gets a big hit and a fight. Guys that are kind of in and out of the lineup and you tell them they’ve got to make noise, I thought they did that tonight. They deserve a lot of the kudos,” said Mougenel.

— In his first game after being sent down from Boston, Oliver Wahlstrom scored his first goal as a Providence Bruin on Saturday. On Sunday, he added another goal – an empty netter.

— Fabian Lysell got a fortunate bounce off a Hartford defender on his game-winning goal on Sunday. He’d had one goal in his previous 13 games.

“It was good to see Fabian get rewarded by just making a play towards the net. It wasn’t a lateral play,” said Mougenel.

BAD

— Very questionable goaltender interference call on Riley Tufte on Saturday. Skating at full speed, Tufte reached for a Patrick Brown pass at the edge of the crease and tipped the puck past Springfield goalie Vadim Zherenko for Providence’s third goal. Just as Tufte touched the puck, he collided with Zherenko, who was at the top of the crease attempting to make the save. The goal counted, as it should have. Zherenko was not injured. Both players were attempting to make a play on the puck, a hockey play. I don’t think a penalty was the right call.

— After taking the lead early in the first period on Sunday, the P-Bruins gave up the tying goal just 51 seconds later.

— As good as the power play has been lately, it wasted five minutes with the man advantage on Sunday.

— They were shorthanded only twice on Saturday and they gave up goals both times.

UGLY
