Bridgeport is missing Kyle Burroughs and John Stevens tonight. Burroughs is said to be upper-body; Stevens is lower. Day-to-day, supposedly.
Grant Hutton appears set to make his pro debut in Burroughs’ place. Mitch Vande Sompel gets back in as well.
Meanwhile, while I was trying to pick up who was dressed for Charlotte, apparently Otto Koivula took a puck to the face and went off to get treated. We’ll see what happens there. Yannick Rathgeb took rushes in his spot.
Robertson rushed as a forward for Charlotte.
