It took the Pirates just 4:19 to get their first goal, as Mathieu Darche scored his 30th goal of the season by poking home a rebound in front. Tim Kennedy and Paul Baier picked up the assists. But less than two minutes later, Providence tied the game when Jeremy Reich took a pass and put a one timer up high to beat Jhonas Enroth. Reich's 20th goal tied the game at one at 6:06 of the first period. Brad Marchand and Denis Reul picked up the assists.

The Pirates jumped back on top at 12:41 of the first when Nathan Gerbe took a pass from Mike Kostka in the high slot and beat Providence goaltender Kevin Nastiuk. Gerbe's 28th goal of the season came from Kostka and Kennedy on a power play.

now that the Pirates have clinched a playoff spot I wonder if the Sabres will call up Gerbe, Kennedy, Zagrapan, Gragnani and Mancari and sit the players that are going to become UFA's.

The Sabres should have sent Butler down the second they were eliminated.
