BRIDGEPORT, CT. - Oskar Steen scored the game-winning goal in overtime and Jeremy Swayman recorded 28 saves as the Providence Bruins defeated the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, 3-2, on Wednesday afternoon. The win marks Providence’s fourth consecutive win against Bridgeport and fifth win in their last six games overall. The P-Bruins are now 12-3-1 with a plus-23 goal differential on the season.

JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH

“Well I’m happy there was no one in the stands for the first period. Bridgeport actually played a pretty hard, up-and-down game, but I thought we were asleep at the wheel.

I thought we woke up a but in the second. There were spurts in the second and the third that we were able to stay in the game and obviously be able to get the win, but by no means was it our best effort.

I think a lot had to do with Bridgeport. They came at us pretty good. They were in our face from start to finish. Sway made a couple big saves for us and we were able to get a couple timely goals. It wasn’t the prettiest of wins, but it’s still a win and we’ll certainly take that.”
