Scratched/Injured: Jordan Sigalet, Jeff Penner, Kevin Schaeffer, Dwayne Zinger, Matt Hendricks, Jeff Hoggan
I'm glad to see that Tuukka is healed enough to be backup! And I'm glad that Jordan had a break! I hate to see him get pushed.
**In the pre-game, Scott mentioned that he's going to be trying to get a lot of the Jr players (aka the players we've recently just gotten) into the lineup so he can see who plays well so that he knows who we can use in case of injuries. He mentioned how happy he was to see Zach Hamill fit in like he was here for months.
Congrats to Jordan Knackstedt for scoring his first AHL goal in his first AHL game! Hmm... sounds like a familiar time on Friday with a guy named Hamill....!
UGH, we got scored on while Adam Courchaine committed a horrid rookie mistake. Don't go out after the puck while you are just getting used to the game here! I get nervous when Jordan leaves the net too much!!
Yikes, no win in regulation, again! Can't Providence win in regulations anymore? I hope they fix that before playoffs. I can't imagine one and two OT's in each game!!
But, huge, huge kudos to Adam Courchaine for not allowing one goal in the shootout! Yes, he made a rookie mistake earlier, but he also helped Providence win the game. Also kudos to Jordan Knackstedt for scoring his first AHL goal AND for getting his shot in in the shootout!!
