P-Bruins lose, trail series, 2-1

Bryce Lampman scored two goals and
Jarkko Immonen added a goal and an assist as the Hartford Wolf Pack
beat the Providence Bruins, 5-2, in Game 3 of an Atlantic Division
semifinal series Saturday night.

Hartford leads the best-of-seven series, 2-1. Game 4 is
scheduled for Tuesday night at Providence.

Lampman scored both of his goals in the second period which
began with the teams tied at 0-0. The first came 26 seconds after
the faceoff when his shot deflected off a Providence defenseman and
eluded Hannu Toivonen (21 saves).

Hartford was on a power play when Lampman beat Toivonen with a
slap shot from the left circle at 4:48.

Providence pulled within 2-1 when rookie Martins Karsums
finished off a 3-on-2 rush at 5:43. Brandon Dubinksy restored
Hartford's two-goal lead when his shot from the left circle sailed
between Toivonen's pads with 36 seconds left in the period.

Immonen and Providence's Levi Nelson exchanged goals in the
third period before Hartford's Dwight Helminan slid the puck into
an empty net with one second left in the game.

Goalie Al Montoya made 27 saves for the Wolf Pack, who held
Providence scoreless on six power-play attempts.
