Special guests

“Miserlou” to “Help” to “I Can’t Explain” in the second intermission of Sacred Heart’s 2-2 tie against American International. That yielded to a very different pregame mix during Sound Tigers warmup. Interesting.

Also interesting: Jack Capuano will be with Bridgeport’s coaches behind the bench tonight. Phil asked Scott Pellerin about it, so tune into the pregame show.

David Ullstrom returns in place of Mike Halmo, with a tweak to the third and fourth lines. One to scratch each way. I’m not positive about the Bridgeport defense pairs after trading notes, but we’ll see. Edit: Seven defensemen, apparently, with Clark scratched. Johnson for Manchester.
