One more time: WBS pregame

Looks like the same lineup for Bridgeport, down to the goaltender, so Mike Halmo plays his 200th AHL game (to go with 20 in the NHL) today in the Wilkes-Barre rematch, one goal shy of 50. He’s the 12th Sound Tiger to play 200 games with that cat (in blue or orange) on his chest; if he plays every game down the stretch, he’d tie Trevor Smith for 10th with 214 (Dustin Kohn played 212).

Well, basically same lineup for Bridgeport: They rushed different second and third defense pairs than this last night, but this is how they wound up playing the game. They did rush this way today. One to scratch each way; Tanner Fritz and Ty Loney (with Tom Sestito back from Pittsburgh) by appearances.

Also, I made sure not to put Kyle Burroughs in there today. Yeah. Joys of cut-and-paste.

Bridgeport scratches (believed healthy unless noted): Mayfield (upper body), Burroughs (lower body), Leduc (right foot), Whitney (right leg), Rowe (lower body), Cliche (undisclosed), Johnston, looked like Fritz.
