Providence pulls ahead of Sharks

Reich

I interrupt this wait to see who the Boston Bruins’ next opponent will be to inform you that the Providence Bruins, who are already in their second round, grabbed a 1-0 lead in their best-of-seven Atlantic Division finals series with Worcester by prevailing 3-2 in overtime tonight at Dunkin’ Donuts Center.

Jeremy Reich scored the game-winning goal at the 6:19 mark of the extra session. Martin St. Pierre and Brad Marchand also scored for Providence, which squandered a 2-0 lead before taking down the Sharks. Tuukka Rask made 35 saves for the P-Bruins.

Game 2 of this series is not until next Wednesday, May 6, at DCU Center in Worcester.
