Hoping for an Alan Quine update postgame. As expected, he’s not playing tonight, which gets Jesse Root in for the first time this season and the first time in the AHL since March 21 for Texas in Milwaukee.
Matt swap, Finn for Carkner. Williams in goal. Hartford has one to scratch; at least, with Matt Lindblad down, it has one extra body, with Raphael Diaz still out injured. Looked like Brown.

For what it’s worth, the A’s actually appear to be on Summers and Hrivik; sheet we got lists Bodie and Megna as alternates.
Bridgeport scratches (believed healthy unless noted): Petrov (broken left foot), Collberg (lower body), Quine (lower body), Leduc, Carkner
Trying the up-top angle tonight courtesy of Paul. First impression: No perspective of size from up here. Weird. See how it goes.
