Full strength (plus)

That’s what I get for speculating: If I had to guess from today’s lineup, Travis Hamonic looks to be in Friday. He says he’s feeling good, ready to play. Scott Pellerin said they’ll talk about it. But looks like it.

Aaron Ness also professes to be good to go. “Couple of teeth; a few stitches,” he said. But he’s feeling OK. Wearing the full shield, like Nelson.

While Bridgeport could have a couple of key players back, Providence has six NHL-bound players who are “possible” for Friday, Mark Divver reports.

Elsewhere, Springfield signed veteran Bryan Helmer.

May have more later.

Edit: Did. Bridgeport has signed defenseman Daniel Maggio to a PTO. Righty shot is Fort Wayne’s ECHL all-star representative. An extra defenseman for the moment, but the world will change in a couple of days.
