Brandon Bussi's Desperation Save Keeps Providence Bruins in the Playoffs

Providence entered the AHL playoffs with a first-round bye for being Atlantic Division Champions. However, the ''Jr. Bs'' saw themselves down 2-0 in a best-of-five against the underdog Hartford Wolf Pack coming into Wednesday's game three.

With his team up 4-3 late in the third, Bussi made not only the save of the playoffs but possibly the best all season long. With it, the goaltender may have - literally - saved their season.

Check it out:

Providence would add a couple of empty net goals to take game three by a 6-3 and stay alive in the series. Game four is scheduled for Friday night in Hartford.

After starting the season with the Maine Mariners of the ECHL, the 24-year-old played his way to the AHL starter. In 32 games for Providence, Bussi collected a 22-5-4 record, with a 2.40 GAA, a .924 SV% and one shutout.

Will Bussi make it a little easier for Boston to part ways with either Linus Ullmark or Jeremy Swayman?
