Returning to action: Providence pregame

The returns of John Persson, Brett Gallant and Harry Zolnierczyk rearrange things a bit from how they were last weekend (and all week), though not incredibly. One to scratch; looked like Justin Courtnall.

Tommy Cross of Simsbury is a scratch for Providence, which has a slew of injuries, to go with Justin Florek’s illness, costing him his first game of the season. Feel like I may’ve mixed something up on the third and fourth lines.

First Bridgeport game for referee Stephen Reneau. Nice Q&A with him there about, among other things, working the longest game in ECHL history last spring.

This should be the box.
