Manchester pregame: No Bouchard

Watching highlights of last night’s game, it was even more striking than it’d been live to watch Pierre-Marc Bouchard work. With the time and space available at this level, he was something to behold, even the chances he set up that didn’t go.

But he’s not in tonight. All we’ve got so far is some kind of banged-up last night. We’ll seek more postgame. In the meantime, Sean Wiles gets in for him, but it appears Bridgeport is the same otherwise.

One to scratch each way; Sean Backman remains out for Manchester.
