MARLBOROUGH, MA. - Cameron Hughes scored a goal and added an assist while Dan Vladar recorded 21 saves, but the Providence Bruins fell to the Hartford Wolf Pack, 3-2, in overtime on Monday afternoon. Providence outshot Hartford by count of 40-24 while going 5-for-5 on the penalty kill and 1-for-8 on the power play. Today marks the second time in five matchups this season that Hartford has defeated Providence.

JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH

“We had eight power plays and a five on three. You quickly accumulate shots when that happening. It’s not necessarily that the power play was bad - I actually thought we were pretty clean and generated we just weren’t able to bury, other than Lantosi.

I thought it was a fair result, to be honest with you. I thought we were a little loose around our net from time to time. I thought we were a little light on pucks from time to time. I’ll give Hartford credit for that because they were coming at us and were very physical. They made it hard on our defensemen to make clean plays.

I thought it was a relatively balanced game. I think it could have gone either way, especially when you don’t bury on a five-on-three. It would have been nice to have one more of those to really capitalize on the accumulation.”
