Unfamiliar territory: Norfolk pregame

Bridgeport’s last winning streak was seven months ago…

OK, I know, the Sound Tigers didn’t play six of those months. But still. They’d played 15 games over two seasons without winning two in a row, since April 2 at Worcester and April 4 back here… against Worcester.

So if they’re going to win two in a row that don’t involve Worcester at both ends, they’re going to do it for the first time since March 8 at Albany and March 12 vs. Springfield.

Stunningly*, looks like the same lineup for Bridgeport, with one to scratch each way.

BRIDGEPORT
F: Lee-Strome-Halmo
Diamond-Sundstrom (A)-Persson
Larson-Quine-Wetmore
Gallant-Clark-Johnson
D: de Haan (A)-Cantin

R: Murphy. L: Galvin, Redding.

Only the second time the Sound Tigers have seen Ryan Murphy, and the first time in Bridgeport. (First time I’ll see him, too.)
