Nov 11, 2023

Hartford, CT - Goaltender Michael DiPietro posted a 34-save shutout, boosting the Providence Bruins to a 2-0 victory over the Hartford Wolf Pack on Saturday night at the XL Center. Forward Curtis Hall netted the game-winning goal and assisted on the other tally, while defenseman Dan Renouf scored his second goal in as many games. 

 

How It Happened

• After an offensive zone face-off win, Hall’s initial shot from the slot was blocked and came right back to his stick, before he fired a snap shot through the five-hole, giving the P-Bruins a 1-0 lead 2:57 into the game. Luke Toporowski and Trevor Kuntar were credited with the assists. 
• While short-handed, DiPietro stretched from the right post to the left and made a dazzling windmill save with the glove with 10:45 to play in the first period. 
• Renouf received a pass from the corner inside the left circle and hammered a slap shot into the upper-right corner, extending the Providence lead to 2-0 with 11:26 remaining in the third period. Hall and Alec Regula received assists on the tally.

• Renouf has scored in two straight games and has five points in that span.
• DiPietro’s shutout was the second of his AHL career and first since the 2019-20 season.
