Same lineup as the other night, for Bridgeport, but with Christopher Gibson in net, and Sebastian Collberg returning for the called-up Taylor Beck. Bridgeport also, as Brent Thompson said was a possibility when sending them down, recalled Loic Leduc and Carter Verhaeghe from Missouri. They arrived at about 3:30 but aren’t in today.
Welcome U!Ti!Ca! for the only time this season, looking a bit different than last night in Albany… and welcome back, the one ‘n’ only Andrey Pedan. They have one to scratch; looked like Carter Bancks. Edit: It is NOT. It’s Dane Fox, who looked like he had a nice chat with junior teammate Adam Pelech in warmup…

Anthony Giorgio worked last night’s Sacred Heart game, which I admittedly mostly mention to get that box score linked, because I feel bad about mostly ignoring the Pios.
