Hey all. Apologies for the lay-off. Life seriously went from dull to ten times of hectic in the span of two months. But it’s good to be back in Bridgeport as the Sound Tigers will take on the Portland Pirates at 7pm today.
Big game in terms of the playoff race for the sound Tigers. They moved into a tie for the last playoff spot yesterday as a result of their win in Bingo and Albany’s SOL in Hamilton. Today the River Rats take on Syracuse, which should be an easy win for them, so it is must win for the Tigers. Here’s the playoff race as it looks now:
| East Division | GP | W | L | OTL | SOL | PTS | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| x Norfolk Admirals | 70 | 45 | 18 | 6 | 1 | 97 | |||||||
| x Hershey Bears | 68 | 42 | 14 | 6 | 6 | 96 | |||||||
| x Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins | 68 | 44 | 18 | 2 | 4 | 94 | |||||||
| Bridgeport Sound Tigers | 67 | 32 | 29 | 1 | 5 | 70 | |||||||
| Albany River Rats | 68 | 32 | 30 | 3 | 3 | 70 | |||||||
| Philadelphia Phantoms | 69 | 28 | 33 | 2 | 6 | 64 | |||||||
| Binghamton Senators | 68 | 19 | 41 | 3 | 5 | 46 |
Early word coming out of Bridgeport is that Blake Comeau will be back in the lineup after missing a good month or so with an ankle injury. Boguniecki missed last night’s game due to an illness and will not dress tonight as well. Add Drew Fata to the list of injured with back spasms.
Be back in a few with the pre-game warmup line combinations…
