The Providence Bruins won two out of three games last week.

They started with a 6-3 loss on the road against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on Wednesday. In Utica on Friday, they trailed 0-2 after one period before rebounding for a 4-3 victory over the Comets. Back home at the AMP on Saturday, Providence scored goals 30 seconds into the first period and 52 seconds into the third period on the way to a 5-2 win against Utica.

Here’s the good, bad and ugly.

GOOD

— As of Sunday, Providence was 47-13-1 and in first place by a mile in the Atlantic Division. They are 41 points ahead of last-place Hartford.

— The P-Bruins are closing in on their fourth 50-win season and fifth 100-point season in franchise history.

— Providence is eighth in the AHL in both power play (20.6 percent) and penalty kill (84.6 percent).

— Here’s a weird one: Providence’s road PP is best in the league at 26.8 percent, but at home it’s 29^th at 14.4 percent.

— With a goal on Saturday, Georgii Merkulov took over the team lead in scoring with 19-31-50 in 59 games. Said it before and I’ll keep on saying it, he deserved much more time than he got in Boston over the last couple of years.

— Joey Abate is on a roll with 4-4-8 in his last seven games. He had 1-1-2 on Wednesday and 2-0-2 on Friday. In the first minute of the game on Saturday, he won a wall battle, raced into the offensive zone and dished the puck to Jake Schmaltz for a goal.

— Matt Poitras continues to play a good two-way game. He scored a goal in Allentown, fed Abate some nice sauce for a goal in Utica, and made a slick pass to Merkulov for a goal on Saturday. He has 13-27-40 in 58 games.

— Riley Tufte’s strong season rolls on. After scoring twice on Saturday, he has a career-best 27 goals. For the year, he has 27-21-48 with a plus-27 in 54 games.

— Victor Soderstrom had himself a week with 1-2-3 on Friday and an assist on Saturday.

— Alexis Gendron’s two assists on Wednesday were his first points with Providence. He followed that up with a power-play goal on Friday.

— Riley Duran had a goal and a helper on Saturday.

BAD

— Giving up three goals in 3:05 in the second period, the P-Bruins ended up allowing a season-high six goals against Lehigh Valley.
