A heartbreaking announcement was just made regarding the boston bruins organization

Many believed the least Don Sweeney could do is ice a competitive AHL team, after his reconstruction of the entire NHL roster.

In a 5-2 loss on Sunday, the Bruins' AHL team, the Providence Bruins, were officially eliminated.

The Bruins made it to game 5 of the AHL's Atlantic Division Semifinals, but would ultimately not provide much help to goaltender Brandon Bussi and take a tough loss to cap off the season.

Tobias Bjornfort collected a loose puck above the crease and flicked a shot into the back of the net, giving the Checkers a 1-0 lead with 12:42 remaining in the first period.

Wilmer Skoogs's one-timer from the left circle snuck inside the far post, extending the Charlotte lead to 2-0 with 11:22 to play in the second frame.
Oliver Okuliar scored on a one-timer at the right post to make it 3-0 with 16:42 remaining in the third period.

Vinni Lettieri collected a puck off the boards at the right post and tucked it into the back of the net, cutting the Checkers' lead to 3-1 with 12:02 left in the third period. Mason Millman and Matthew Poitras received assists.

Lettieri banked a backhanded shot off the goaltender and into the back of the net from the left post for a power play goal, shrinking the Charlotte lead to 3-2 with 4:01 to play in the third frame. Fraser Minten and Ian Mitchell received assists.

Bjornfort scored on the empty net with 1:08 left.

Will Lockwood scored on the empty net with 23 seconds to play.

The Bruins' powerplay went 1-for-5, in what hurt them the most.

It's officially off-season for both Bruins teams now!
