Providence, RI - Justin Brazeau notched his third goal in two games, but the Providence Bruins were topped by the Utica Comets 2-1 on Sunday evening at the Amica Mutual Pavilion. Fabian Lysell notched an assist in his return to the P-Bruins lineup. 

 

How It Happened

• Tyler Wotherspoon fired a wrist shot from the left side boards that snuck through traffic with 12:21 remaining in the first period to give Utica a 1-0 lead. 
• Jeremy Groleau wrapped the puck around the net, sending a pass to Andreas Johnsson atop the blue paint, who jammed it into the back of the net with 13:38 left in the third period to give the Comets a 2-0 lead. 
• With the goaltender pulled for the extra attacker, Lysell found Brazeau in front of the cage for a redirection goal with 3:17 remaining in the third period to shrink the Comets lead to 2-1. Dan Renouf was also credited with an assist on the goal.
