Day-to-day: Lehigh Valley pregame

John Persson’s upper-body, day-to-day injury off that Oliver Lauridsen hit will keep him out at least this day. He’s expected to be evaluated sometime today. Jason Bast returns for him. Ryan Pulock also returns to Bridgeport’s lineup, assuming nothing crazy happens with the Islanders defense in the next few minutes. He replaces Mark Nemec, with whom Brent Thompson sounded extremely happy the past couple of nights.

One to scratch each way. First appearances were Courtnall and Flemming. Edit: indeed.

This should be the box. But LeagueStat is down, reportedly, so it may not be available.
