The Providence Bruins roared into the AHL All-Star break on a 10-game winning streak.

They started the week with a 2-1 win at Bridgeport. At home on Friday, they beat Hartford, 3-1. The next night on the road they edged the Wolf Pack in a shootout, 2-1.

The P-Bruins are in first place in the Atlantic Division with a record of 35-8-1-0 and 71 points.

They are three points ahead of second-place Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with four games in hand.

Here’s the good, bad and ugly.

GOOD

— Georgii Merkulov had a strong week, starting with a primary assist on a power play goal in Bridgeport. He scored twice in Friday’s win. He recorded assist on Saturday before scoring the only goal in shootout. He is second on the team in scoring with 16-20-36 in 42 games.

— Back in Providence after a short but positive stay with Boston, Matt Poitras made a good pass to set up a Merkulov goal and added another assist in Friday’s win.

— Brett Harrison had an assist on Friday, then scored a goal on Saturday at the end of well-executed power play.

— Mike DiPietro stopped 36 of 37 shots on Wednesday and 28 of 29 on Friday. As he heads to the All-Star Game in Rockford, he continues to lead the league with a .943 save percentage and 1.62 goals-against average. He is tied for the AHL lead with 20 wins.

— Luke Cavallin stopped 25 of 26 shots plus three more in the shootout in improving his record to 4-0 with Saturday’s win.

— Christian Wolanin had a productive week. Had scored a power-play goal in Bridgeport and added assists on Friday and Saturday.

— Frederic Brunet scored his eighth goal of the season on Friday.

— Stick tap for Riley Tufte, who came to Brunet’s defense after the Providence defenseman took a big hit in Hartford on Saturday. Tufte scored his team-leading 19^th goal in Bridgeport. It was his 200^th AHL point. His plus-23 is tied for fifth in the AHL.

— Patrick Brown’s plus-28 leads the league and Billy Sweezey’s plus-26 is second.

— Providence’s 84.8 percent penalty kill is second in the AHL. The power play is seventh at 22.2 percent.

BAD

— Once referees Mathieu Menniti and Johnny Daniels whistled Hartford for too many men in overtime on Saturday, it was laughably predictable that a makeup call against Providence was coming. Sure enough, the P-Bruins were called for too many men 73 seconds later.

UGLY

— Let’s be real. They’ve won 10 in a row. They’re in first place. If they’re not the best team in the league, they’re a close second. There’s really not much ugly to be found this week.
