Cool Fun 101 XVI, you guys. This thing is almost too old to come to this thing.
Bridgeport looks much as it did yesterday, Stephen Gionta for Ryan Bourque and Sebastian Aho for Yannick Rathgeb. Jeremy Smith in net. Scott Eansor took warmup, which my guess is just to get him a skate with the weird start time and no other ice.
Binghamton pays its one visit of the year, (sarcasm font)so obviously the crowd will be huge, getting its Devils fix(/sarcasm font). No Quenneville brothers reunion (though David got back in Worcester’s lineup last night; he’d been out injured).

Bridgeport scratches (believed healthy unless noted): apparently Casto, Rathgeb, Eansor (lower), Gaudreau (lower), R.Bourque (veteran), Hitchcock, B.Holmstrom (veteran).
This’ll be the first time Bridgeport will have Liam Sewell (or Peter MacDougall) since they had that (mostly-)closed-to-the-public game in Charlotte in January, in which one ref or the other called Connor Jones for interference on what Jones considered a “(bleeping) hockey (bleeping) play,” according to the video.
