With the return of Frans Nielsen up top, Mike Halmo comes back here. For now, at least. Wednesday at 3 p.m. creeps ever closer.
He appears to take Matthew Pistilli’s spot today. The other lines revert to Friday-like, but the third defense pair appears to swap out entirely to get them back in.
One to scratch each way. Saw at least one Brandon DeFazio Bridgeport sweater today. He’s back to 24 with the Utica Comets, who make their first Bridgeport appearance. They’re far enough east that we’ll still treat the rest of that conference as a rumor.
