MARLBOROUGH, MA. - Callum Booth earned his first win of the season and Brady Lyle recorded three points as the Providence Bruins defeated the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, 5-2, on Monday afternoon. The win marks Providence’s third straight win and ninth win in their last 11 contests. The P-Bruins improved to 10-2-1 with the victory and have a plus-19 goal differential on the season. Providence has recorded a point in seven consecutive contests and 10 of their last 11 games.
JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH
“He (Lyle) has been pretty solid for us in all aspects. To be honest, I didn’t know a whole lot about the player. We obviously signed him out of junior. I never really saw him and we didn’t have the opportunity to see him in rookie camp like we usually would. He came in really with a blank canvas with our staff, but he’s been great - he’s been solid.
One thing I like about Brady is he’s really hard on the puck. He obviously has a hard shot, which you saw today, but every pass is hard. It’s a pro pass.
In battles, he’s able to win pucks. He’s obviously working on certain aspects of his game to transition to professional hockey, but it’s been a terrific start. We’re able to play him in most situations, which is a lot to say for a young rookie defenseman coming out of junior.”
