Islanders Earn Point in 4-3 Shootout Loss to Bruins

Jan 24, 2026

Bridgeport, CT – Returning home to Total Mortgage Arena after their five-game winning streak was snapped last night in Hartford, the Bridgeport Islanders and Providence Bruins duked it out in a back-and-forth contest, which needed a shootout to determine who escaped with two points, but the Bruins ultimately escaped with a 4-3 victory.

In the final moments of a competitive opening frame, Liam Foudy’s point shot snuck past a net-front scrum and into the back of the net to give the Islanders a 1-0 lead with 28.5 seconds to play in the first period. 

The Islanders added to their lead 7:46 into the middle frame thanks to Adam Beckman, who was sprung onto a breakaway by Travis Mitchell and netted his team-leading 16th goal of the season. 

Providence cut the lead in half 14:26 into the second courtesy of Patrick Brown, who tucked in a rebound for his 14th. Just minutes later, Dalton Bancroft netted his first of the campaign to equalize the score at 2 apiece heading into the final 20 minutes of play.

Riley Tufte gave the Bruins a 3-2 lead at 10:01, but Foudy continued his hot streak with his second tally of the evening 53 seconds later, re-tying the contest at 3. 

In the shootout, John Farinacci supplied the only goal as Providence skated away with the win.
