Sharks 3, P-Bruins 1

WORCESTER, Mass. — Thomas Greiss stopped 25 of 26 shots to push the Worcester Sharks to a 3-1 victory over the Providence Bruins in American Hockey League action Saturday.

The win moves Worcester into fourth place in the Atlantic Division. Josh Prudden, Lukas Kaspar and Grant Stevenson had the Sharks goals while Craig Valette added two assists.

Sean Bentivoglio scored for the Bruins, his first professional goal.

Hannu Toivonen made 27 saves in the Providence net.

The Sharks scored a single goal in each period. The Bruins got their consolation in the second period.

Prudden scored on a wraparound at 17:51 of the first period. Kaspar later got the puck as he came out of the penalty box and fired a 35-foot wrist shot through Toivonen’s pads at 6:54 to increase the Worcester lead to 2-0.

Bentivoglios goal at 18:15 of the second period was contentious, as the puck entered the net just as it popped off its posts. Referee Conrad Hache initially waved it off, then called it a goal after conferring with linesmen Brent Colby and Kevin Redding.

Stevenson finished off the scoring on a partial breakaway with 15-foot wrist shot to make it 3-1 at 16:16 of the third period.
