P-Bruins take 2-1 series lead with 2-1 win

PROVIDENCE — T.J. Trevelyans power-play goal with 1:48 left gave the Providence Bruins a 2-1 victory over the Manchester Monarchs in Game Three of the teams Atlantic Division championship series.

Providence leads the best-of-seven series, two games to one. Game Four is scheduled for Wednesday night at Providence.

Manchesters Gabe Gauthier was in the penalty box for tripping when the Bruins went on their seventh power play of the game. Ryan Glenn unloaded a slap shot from the right point that was headed wide of the cage. But Trevelyan deflected the puck past Barry Brust (26 saves) at 18:12 for his fourth goal of the playoffs.

Manchester had tied the game 1-1 on a power-play goal by Greg Tverdosky at 17:51.
Patrick OSullivan sent the puck in from the right point and Tverdosky, who was positioned in the slot, tipped it past a screened Hannu Toivonen (24 saves) for his second goal of the playoffs.

Providences Nate DiCasmiro broke a scoreless tie while the Bruins were skating short-handed late in the second period.

After Brust came out of his cage to play the puck, DiCasmiro broke in from the right circle and stole the puck. DiCasmiro then scored on a wrap-around at 16:17.
Providence outshot Manchester, 28-25, but only was 1-for-7 with a man advantage.
