 Taylor Dakers to give the Bruins a 1-0 lead. The goal was assisted
 by Jeremy Reich and Mikko Lehtonen at 00:53. The Bruins added to
 their lead with a blister from Brad Marchand that found its way
 between the armpit of Dakers and gave the Bruins a 2-0 advantage at
 8:24. The goal was assisted by Colin Hemingway and Ned Lukacevic.



 The Sharks would not leave the period without lighting the lamp
 themselves as Jamie McGinn cleaned up a rebound off the shot of
 Lukas Kaspar at 11:32. McGinn痴 17th goal of the season, a power
 play goal, cut the lead to 2-1. The shots on goal through two
 periods were 18-17, in favor of Worcester.

 McGinn stood next to the net in anticipation of a one-timer feed
 from Steven Zalewski to tie the game 2-2. McGinn痴 second goal of
 the game, 18th of the season, was assisted by Steven Zalewski and
 Matt Fornataro. The goal also extended McGinn痴 goal scoring streak
 to four games. Providence was quick to retaliate with a goal from
 Reich at 2:46 to give Providence a 3-2 lead. Reich痴 16th goal of
 the season was assisted by Matt Lashoff and Lehtonen. Following the
