Going for five: Providence pregame

Bridgeport aims for a five-game winning streak at home against Providence, which starts Malcolm Subban in its first visit down here since (the Sound Tigers’) opening night.

Same forwards as Sunday for Bridgeport; likely one tweak on defense, with Pat Cullity appearing in for Loic Leduc; just a tough decision, Brent Thompson said, between two guys playing well. Jaro Halak back in net. One to scratch for the Bruins as well on defense, and all indications were Ben Marshall.

This should be the box.

Bridgeport scratches (believed healthy unless noted): Gibson (lower body), apparently Leduc, Boulton, Markison, St. Denis.

So three sets of brothers on the ice tonight. They’re scheduled to be here together Friday, too.
