As they’ve done several times recently, the Providence Bruins won two out of three games this week.

They edged the Springfield Thunderbirds on the road, 2-1, on Wednesday. Back at home, they beat the Bridgeport Islanders, 6-4, on Saturday and then lost to Springfield, 4-2, on Sunday.

“(Springfield) played well. We weren’t emotionally involved early. That hurt us a little bit. Sometimes you’ve got to drag yourselves into it and talk yourselves into it. I just didn’t think we had that today,” said coach Ryan Mougenel after the loss.

Here’s the good, bad and ugly.

GOOD

— Providence finished the weekend with a record of 49-14-1. They are in first place in the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference with 99 points and a .773 points percentage.

— Riley Tufte is having his best year as a pro. He scored a goal in Springfield and then posted a hat trick and an assist against Bridgeport. He has 31-22-53 and is plus-27 in 57 games. He has the most goals by a P-Bruin since Frank Vatrano scored 36 in 2015-16.

— First rounder James Hagens played his first three games as a pro and the reviews were all positive. He scored his first goal with a power play rip on Saturday and made a nice play to set up a goal on Sunday.

“I don’t think anybody was particularly great (on Sunday), but I really liked 12’s (James Hagens) second and third period. I thought he was excellent, starting to feel it at little bit,” Mougenel said.

— Joey Abate scored a goal on Saturday and earned assists on Wednesday and Sunday. He has points in six straight games with 4-4-8 totals.

— Georgii Merkulov had a goal and an assist on Saturday and a goal on Sunday. He is tied with Tufte for the team lead in scoring with 21-32-53 in 62 games.

— Overshadowed by Tufte’s hat trick and Hagens’ first goal, Poitras turned in a strong game against Bridgeport with three primary assists. His totals for the season are 13-31-44 in 60 games.

— Christian Wolanin grabbed the puck for Hagens after the rookie scored his first pro goal. Wolanin, who has been a fabulous addition for the P-Bruins, posted two assists in the game.

— The Bruins stood up for Hagens. Navrin Mutter fought Springfield’s Wyatt Newpower after Newpower threw a hard hit on the Bruins rookie and every Bruin on the ice got involved in the scrum after Hagens was roughed up by Bridgeport’s Luke Rowe.

— After some good work in the neutral zone by linemates Abate and Riley Duran, Jake Schmaltz raced in and scored the game-winner in the third period in Springfield.

— For the second straight season, Providence went 11-1 against Bridgeport.

BAD

— Providence allowed two goals in 67 seconds in the first period against Bridgeport.

— Referees Damian Figueria and Austin O’Rourke flat-out blew the call when they disallowed a Providence goal for goalie interference in Springfield. There was no interference on the play.

— Providence is 25^th in the AHL in power play opportunities with 206.

— The PP went 0 for 6 on Sunday.

UGLY

— Injured: Frederic Brunet, Alexis Gendron, Dans Locmelis, Fabian Lysell
