The Providence Bruins took two out of three last week.

They beat the Springfield Thunderbirds in overtime, 3-2, on the road on Wednesday. Back home on Saturday, they obliterated the Hartford Wolf Pack, 7-0, before losing to the T-Birds, 4-3, at the AMP on Sunday.

“We should have won that game and it’s disappointing because that’s a team that we knew could come and bite us and they did,” coach Ryan Mougenel said after Sunday’s loss.

“It’s a lesson learned and it’s an important lesson as we go through this. Things that we value and that are important – winning the wall war – cost us the tying goal.

“I don’t like how fluffy we were in the offensive zone at all, just fluffy on the outside. When we play direct, we’re a real good team, but when we play on the outside, we’re not,” he said.

Here’s the good, bad and ugly.

GOOD

— Providence slipped ahead of Grand Rapids for first overall in the AHL with a record of 45-12-1 for 91 points and a points percentage of .784. In the Atlantic Division, they lead second-place Wilkes-Barre/Scranton by nine points with two games in hand.

— The P-Bruins are 9-1 in overtime games and 3-0 in shootouts.

— New arrival Lukas Reichel provided an immediate injection of skill. In his Providence debut, he assisted on a goal and scored in overtime to win the game in Springfield, then put up three assists and was plus-four against Hartford.

— By the time Mike Callahan scored Providence’s fifth goal in the third period on Saturday, Hartford had only five shots on net. The shots were 33-7 for the P-Bruins midway through the third period.

— Michael DiPietro posted two more wins, raising his record to 28-6, and his second shutout. He continues to lead the league with a .936 save percentage and 1.80 save percentage.

— Ty Gallagher recorded a hat trick and had a fight in Saturday night’s game. He had two assists on Sunday.

— Six of Providence’s seven goals on Saturday were by defensemen. Three by Gallagher, two by Victor Soderstrom and one by Mike Callahan.

— Matej Blumel had a goal and an assist on Saturday and two goals on Sunday. He has 17-26-43 and plus-20 in 44 games.

— Matt Poitras had two assists and was plus-four on Saturday and scored Providence’s first goal on Sunday.

BAD

— Fabian Lysell picked a fight with Hartford’s Jackson Dorrington near the end of Saturday’s 7-0 blowout. It was a dumb idea. Not only was he embarrassed in the fight, he came out of it with an injury.

— The P-Bruins were penalized for too many men not once but twice in Wednesday’s game.

— Providence hasn’t let many third period leads slip away but it happened on Sunday. They led 2-1 with 10 minutes left, but lost, 4-3.
