The Providence Bruins embark on week three of their regular season with a pair of games this weekend. Providence looks to bounce back after two losses in a row.

Providence plays Laval on Friday night for the second matchup of the season. Then, Providence faces Belleville Saturday on the second night of a back-to-back.

The Baby B’s faced Laval on Wednesday of this week in a thrilling contest that went all the way to a shootout.

Crazy comeback ends in a shootout loss to Laval

Providence traveled to Laval on Wednesday in a rare midweek AHL game. It’s safe to say the game didn’t start out as intended.

Laval jumped out to a big lead with four goals in the first period. Providence looked out of sorts, and the game appeared to be over by the first intermission.

Providence, however, slowly chipped away to get back in the game. Peter Cehlarik got his team on the board in the second period, a welcome sign for a player who battled an injury earlier this season.

Then, Providence exploded for three goals in the third period. Paul Carey scored early in the period, and Cehlarik followed with his second of the night.

Brendan Guance, who we mentioned in our last Friday on the farm, put home the game-tying goal with only 18 seconds left in the game. Anders Bjork picked up his third assist of the season.

Providence eventually came up short in the shootout, as all six shooters failed to score. Nonetheless, Providence still showed a lot to come back from a four-goal deficit.

We’ll see if Providence can get some revenge on Laval on Friday night.
