The Bruins' hot start left the Checkers in a deep hole early, and despite their efforts, the Checkers came up short on Friday night.
Providence gained a quick three-goal lead, holding the matchup’s momentum during the first period.
The opponent earned a fourth point in the game's second frame, with no answer from the Checkers.
The Checkers outshot the Bruins 11-3 in the third period but continued to come up empty, and Providence’s Brandon Bussi eventually completed his 23-save shutout of Charlotte.
