The Providence Bruins, the minor league affiliate of the Boston Bruins, announced their 26-game American Hockey League schedule on Friday. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the P-Bruins will play games against three teams, the Hartford Wolf Pack (New York Rangers), Bridgeport Sound Tigers (New York Islanders), and the Utica Comets (Vancouver Canucks).

Providence will play in the Atlantic Division against Hartford and Bridgeport 12 times during the season, while they will also play Utica twice. There was no word on whether there would be the annual Calder Cup playoffs following the shortened campaign.
