Providence pregame

This is the seventh time Bridgeport has shut out the same opponent twice in a row, sixth time it’s been done within the same season. The Sound Tigers have never done it three times in a row. Kevin Poulin gives it a whirl tonight.

Colton Gillies and John Persson both appear set to return from injury, and it looks like Adam Pelech is in for Kevin Czuczman. One to scratch each way.

This should be the box.

Bridgeport and goalie Phil Trudeau terminated their contract, the team announced, saying he’s going to play college hockey in Canada.
