I-(clap)-dentical: Springfield (1) pregame

“No changes,” Brent Thompson said. No changes? “Unchanged.” Gudlevskis? “No changes.” Got it.

Springfield lost goalie Samuel Montembeault to Florida after James Reimer got hurt last night, so Evan Cowley gets the nod with Branden Komm up from Manchester to back up. Springfield also released Cornell F. Buckles this week, a highly disappointing development.
