How It Happened

  • Farinacci dropped the puck for Richard in the slot, who snapped a shot under the goaltender’s right arm, tying the game at 1-1 with 22 seconds remaining in the first period. Lysell received the secondary assist. 
  • On a 3-on-2 rush, Lysell walked the puck into the right circle and fired a wrist shot above the glove of the goaltender, giving Providence a 2-1 lead with 14:13 to play in the second period. Richard and Mike Callahan were credited with the assists. 
  • A shot from the right point deflected off the foot of James Malatesta at the left post and into the back of the net, tying the game at 2-2 with 3:15 left in the second period. 
  • Trey Fix-Wolansky backhanded a shot from the slot inside the left post, giving the Monsters a 3-2 lead with 8:19 remaining in the third period. 
  • From just above the blue paint, Brazeau deflected a Jakub Zboril shot from the point, tying the game at 3-3 with 7:58 to play in the third period. 
  • While short-handed, Farinacci stole the puck away from the defender at center ice, deked to the backhand on the breakaway, and flipped the puck into the back of the net, giving the P-Bruins a 4-3 lead with 4:43 left in the third period. 
  • Luca Del Bel Belluz redirected a shot from the point from right outside the left post, tying the game at 4-4 with 2:34 remaining in the third period.
