PROVIDENCE -- And then there were three.

Goalies, that is.

Adam Courchaine, 20, has been sent to the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League, where he will be an overage player, said Providence coach Rob Murray.

That leaves netminders Dany Sabourin, Kevin Regan and Matt Dalton in Providence.

DAY OF REST
There was no sign of Vladimir Sobotka at the Dunkin Donuts Center Thursday morning.

Zach Hamill, Brad Marchand and Dany Sabourin were no-shows, too.

That's because coach Rob Murray gave the team the day off.

The P-Bruins will practice two more times -- Friday and Saturday -- before the opener on Sunday afternoon.

NOT A PROBLEM
Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli told Fluto Shinzawa of The Boston Globe that Sobotka was upset by Wednesday's surprise demotion, which gives the parent club a little more room under the salary cap.

Murray, though, said that he's not at all concerned that Sobotka will report to Providence with the wrong attitude.

"Vladdy's the type of kid, I don't care how disappointed or how pissed off he might be, when the game starts, he goes hard. I'm not worried about that,'' Murray said.

REICH INJURED
Tough luck for Jeremy Reich, who signed with the New York Islanders during the summer. The former Providence captain looked to be on the verge of winning an NHL job until he broke his left wrist in a fight with New Jersey defenseman Bryce Salvador on Tuesday night.

What is he going to learn back in the OHL? He should be in the ECHL or even the CHL.
