Mostly the same today as last night for Bridgeport, just Ryan Pulock returning and Jesse Graham the apparent unlucky man out. Stephon Williams gets the go off his shutout yesterday.
For Lehigh Valley, Alex Lyon gets his first game off in a while. He’d played 10 in a row. It’s Martin Ouellette in net. I don’t trust myself on the Phantoms; thought saw all 20 skaters on the roster out there. (You’re only allowed one extra, by rule.) Didn’t have Lamarche or Miele in the line rushes, though they’re both out there now. See how the scratches go. Edit: Told Fazleev wasn’t out there. He and Lamarche are scratched. Edit2: Maybe he was: told now Miele is scratched, Fazleev is in.
