College Boys Swoop In and Score

Two New Providence Players
March 24, 2012

I'll write more about this weekend on Monday but here's what has happened already. Goaltender Anton Khudobin has started and played both games this weekend thus far and has two wins.  He is returning from a left wrist injury and is quite likely to see some time in Boston very soon.

On Friday, after flying into Providence, practicing in the morning and signing an ATO Agreement at 5:00 pm, Justin Florek went out and scored 2 goals and assisted on two others in a 5-2 win over Manchester.

As I waited to interview Florek on his historic night there was a tall blonde guy outside the locker room. That guy was Zach Trotman.  He scored the game winning goal in Connecticut on Saturday night in a 3-2 Providence victory.

Here are their stats, more to follow on Monday. See you then.
