Same forwards, but in different groups today for Bridgeport: Marc-Andre Cliche goes up with Bracken Kearns and James Wright, Michael Dal Colle moves down with Tanner Fritz and Mike Halmo (they played together in the Providence game to end the season, and the triplets get back together on the fourth line. One swap on defense, Kyle Burroughs stepping in for Parker Wotherspoon.
Kasperi Kapanen makes his Marlies postseason debut in place of Tobias Lindberg — they’re also otherwise mildly rearranged from last night — and Garret Sparks gets the nod tonight. Fun little false start to line rushes, as Mark Arcobello tossed it deep for Campbell and Valiev, only to realize that Sparks hadn’t taken the net yet.
