P-Bruins win 3-2 over Philadephia in Aaron Downey's return

PROVIDENCE -- Daylight savings arrives early this year, but for a few hours last night at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center the clock turned back to 1999.

The excitement began late last week when it was announced that fan favorite Aaron Downey was returning to the Providence Bruins after he was acquired on loan from the Hamilton Bulldogs (Montreal Canadiens) in exchange for goaltender Philippe Sauve.

Fans all around the state couldn’t wait to see No. 44 back on the ice at the Dunk and when his blades hit the ice for the pregame warmup, the 8,612 in attendance gave him a welcome reception. Once fans settled in after Downey through a couple of checks, the attention turned to the P-Bruins as they extended their winning streak to five with a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phantoms.
