No D call (yet): Albany pregame

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.

This should be the box.

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.
