SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - The Springfield Thunderbirds are back home at the MassMutual Center for game 4 of the Atlantic Division Semifinals. The energy is definitely building out here tonight; fans are coming in ready to cheer on the T-Birds as they take on the Providence Bruins.

Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. on Thursday night here at the MassMutual Center. The Thunderbirds are coming off a big overtime win Tuesday and now they’ve got the edge in this best-of-five series.

With a win tonight, the Thunderbirds would get their ticket to the Division Finals. Just a short while ago we spoke with fans here who tell me they’re feeling confident the T-Birds will take home another win, “absolutely I have absolute faith,” said Thunderbirds superfan Tomeka Ligon, “We’ve had our ups and downs but it just shows how resilient this team is.”

If you can’t make it out here in person Western Mass News, has you covered, you can watch the game live on COZI TV with coverage starting at 7 p.m.

Coming up later tonight on Western Mass News at 10 and 11, we’ll have more from fans and more on the excitement ahead of tonight’s matchup.
