The Providence Bruins are in the middle of a must win game four. They trail 2-1 in the game and 2-1 in their best-of-five series. Just over two minutes into the game the Providence starting goalie Michael DiPietro left the game. Someone crashed into him, and he appeared to injure his back.. Brandon Bussi replaced him net. DiPietro left the game without having recorded a single save. He is 3-3-0 in the playoffs with a 1.85 goals-against average and a .928 save percentage.
