SPRINGFIELD -- The Springfield Falcons won a thriller in their preseason finale on Saturday night at the MassMutual Center scoring four third period goals on their way to a 4-3 win over the Providence Bruins. The Falcons used goals from Dalton Prout, Tom Cavanagh, Cory McGillis and Kevin Harvey to even their preseason record at 1-1.
After 40 minutes of scoreless hockey, the Falcons and Bruins had an offensive explosion in the final frame.
Providence quickly built a 2-0 lead when Maxime Sauve and Jamie Arniel scored within the first 38-seconds of the third period. Springfield would answer back in a big way as Prout and Cavanagh scored less than three minutes apart early in the final frame evening the score at 2-2.
Harvey gave the Falcons a 3-2 lead at 9:32 of the third period when he converted on a breakaway.
McGillis scored his second goal of the preseason at 11:13 of the final period giving the Falcons some insurance at 4-2.
Providence would cut their deficit to one goal late in regulation, but the Falcons held on for the win.
Springfield goaltender Daren Machesney played the full 60 minutes stopping 31 of 34 shots.
There were a pair of fights in the game as Springfield's Steve Goertzen and Providence's Antoine Roussel dropped the gloves, followed by Kyle Neuber and Jeremy Reich.
