Curry scored a big third-period goal and added an assist in Providence’s 6-5 shootout win over Lowell on Wednesday, then scored twice – including the game-winner – in a 4-1 victory over Bridgeport on Friday. He again recorded a goal and an assist in a 6-1 win at Lowell on Saturday, then notched a plus-3 rating to help the Bruins defeat Houston, 4-1, on Sunday.
In recognition of his achievement, Curry will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Bruins home game.
