P-Bruins lose in shootout

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Jamie Johnson and Allan Rourke scored on Bridgeport’s first two attempts in the shootout as the Sound Tigers beat the Providence Bruins 4-3 Friday night in the American Hockey League.

Bridgeport (35-34-1-5) avenged two shootout losses to the Bruins earlier in the season and stayed tied with Albany for the final playoff spot in the East Division. Providence (41-30-1-4) earned a point and remained in third place in the Atlantic Division.

Sound Tigers goalie Billy Thompson stopped 37 shots in regulation and overtime. He gave up a shootout goal to David Krejci, but stopped Providence’s next four attempts.
Mark Wotton netted two goals for Bridgeport, and Gregg Johnson added another.

The Bruins forced overtime after rallying back from 2-0 and 3-2 deficits in the third period. Nate Thompson, T.J. Trevelan and Sean Bentivoglio scored for Providence.
Hannu Toivonen had 23 saves for the Bruins.
