Sort of as they ran yesterday (Ryan Bourque slides in), the Sound Tigers go into Hartford with some new combinations and without Michael Dal Colle and Scott Eansor (lower). There’s an addition on the sweater: The Sound Tigers will wear CBW patches on their right sleeves the rest of the year to honor Charles Wang.
Matt Beleskey makes his season debut for Hartford, apparently for Ryan Gropp.
