Stephon Williams supposedly just has a bruise, wherever on his upper body that may be, so he’s day-to-day, Brent Thompson said before the game. In to spell him is Alex Vazzano of Trumbull, former Sacred Heart goalie and younger brother of Sound Tigers video coach John Vazzano. (You may know the family.)
So it’s Jaroslav Halak, playing his third day in a row for the first time in a long time, going for his 10th win in a row, which’d be a Bridgeport record. A couple of in-out swaps for Bridgeport, just resting some, getting others in, from all accounts. As they finished up yesterday, the Dal Colle/St. Denis swap has been erased.
Hershey got Zach Sanford, fresh off his first NHL goal, back late last night for tonight. And hey, it’s Aaron Ness and Parker Milner. One to scratch each way; appeared to be the extra forward for both.
