Looks like Tanner Fritz makes his AHL debut today centering the fourth line, with Jared Gomes apparently out and Sebastian Collberg moving up to the top line. Interesting swap; we’ll ask about that one afterward. Loic Leduc in for Matt Carkner, and no apparent deference to any possible call-up after the Islanders put Calvin de Haan on injured reserve.
Christopher Gibson goes for the eighth time in a row. One to scratch each way.

Bridgeport scratches (believed healthy unless noted): Carkner, Mayfield (suspended: Game 2 of 3), Whitney (right leg), Rowe (lower body), Verhaeghe (lower body), looked like Gomes.
