P-BRUINS EDGE OUT PHANTOMS FOR FIFTH STRAIGHT WIN

Dec 3, 2023

Providence, RI -  Forward Justin Brazeau netted the game winning goal with just over ten minutes to play, helping the Providence Bruins edge out the Lehigh Valley Phantoms 3-2 for their fifth straight win on Sunday evening at the Amica Mutual Pavilion. Defenseman Alec Regula recorded a goal and an assist. Goaltender Brandon Bussi earned his sixth win of the season, stopping 20 shots.  

 

How It Happened

  • While on the power play, Jon-Randall Avon’s wrist shot from the top of the right circle deflected off a defender and under the pads of the goaltender, giving the Phantoms a 1-0 lead 6:50 into the first period. 
  • On the rush, Vincent Arseneau skated the puck across the blue line and into the right circle, where he snapped a shot inside the far post, tying the game at 1-1 with 8:01 remaining in the first period. Jayson Megna and Regula received assists on the tally. 
  • Regula wristed a shot from the right point that fluttered through traffic and into the upper left corner, giving the P-Bruins a 2-1 lead with 11:21 left in the second frame. Mason Lohrei and Jesper Boqvist were credited with the assists. 
  • Elliot Desnoyers stole the puck inside his own blue line and raced up the ice on a breakaway, where he deked and tucked the puck with the forehand across the goal line, tying the game at 2-2 with 16:20 remaining in the third period. 
  • Standing near the left post, John Farinacci collected a loose puck below the goal line and fed Brazeau at the right post for a tap-in goal, giving Providence a 3-2 lead with 10:41 left in the third frame. Luke Toporowski received a secondary assist.
