Bridgeport goes for its sixth win in a row, which would be its longest streak since the last seven games of February, all regulation-time victories, the last six games of the Olympic break and the first game after. (Things didn’t go so well after that.)
Appears they do it with Andrey Pedan. Pedan hasn’t played an AHL game since Oct. 18 at Albany or a game of any sort since Nov. 1 for Stockton at Idaho. He’s apparently in for Adam Pelech. C.J. Stretch goes back in for John Persson, apparently (Persson didn’t take the rushes), so the lines revert to their Friday alignment. Former Sound Tiger Mike Cornell was on for warmup for the Falcons but didn’t take the rushes. Edit: He’s in: Denny Urban’s scratched.

BTW, neglected to mention last night: They’ve put up some phenomenal photos on the third and fourth floors in the suite areas. Dave, guarding the elevator-side entry on the third floor, was looking at a picture of the carousel at Pleasure Beach and talking about riding, probably, every horse. A few other people came by talking about going out there. Pretty stuff. (Hopefully they’ll let you take a walk by and take a look. I’ll have to sneak up to 4 some morning and give you the scouting report up there.)
