Eventful few days away from hockey for me (don’t ask), but not as eventful as here. Condolences to his family. There was brief concern early this morning that the scene might not be cleared, but with some boarding-up repairs, the barn’s ready for hockey tonight.
For its Facebook Watch appearance, Bridgeport runs similarly to its last outing in Belleville. Travis St. Denis is in the lineup. The one apparent change is Parker Wotherspoon in for Yannick Rathgeb.
A few changes for Hartford since the teams last met, including Tim Gettinger getting called up moments ago.
Teddy Bear Toss tonight.
