One of the Boston Bruins top prospects was just hit with some troubling news as it seems like his season is done after suffering an injury.
The Providence Bruins have a really good team this year, and might actually have a chance at winning the Calder Cup.
They currently rank 3rd in the Atlantic Division holding a record of 37-23-5-3, but with the loss of one of their top players it may change things.
Recently Providence General Manager Evan Gold revealed that head coach Ryan Mougenel was stepping away from the team due to a family matter. This couldn't come at a worse time as playoffs are right around the corner.
Statement from Evan Gold of the Bruins:
"Providence Bruins Head Coach Ryan Mougenel will be temporarily away from the team to attend to a family matter. Assistant Coach Trent Whitfield will assume head coaching responsibilities in the interim"
