Exclusive: Vladislav Firstov likely to return against Providence

Vladislav Firstov will likely return from a lower body injury that has kept him sidelined for the last three games, a source told the UConn Hockey Hub. Earlier on Thursday, head coach Mike Cavanaugh said Firstov’s status for the game would be clearer after practice. Apparently, practice went well.

“He should be in tomorrow,” the source texted.
