| Inside The Game |
| The "Baby" Pens play their third home game in a row, before
beginning
a 7-game road trip. The Sound Tigers boast a line-up mixed with both talent and grit. The talented Blake Comeau has been sent down to Bridgeport, and rugged 6’8" Mitch Fritz has been promoted to the New York Islanders. Ex-Baby Pen, Kurtis McLean will play for Bridgeport tonight centering the first line with Mike Iggulden and Trevor Smith. The fighting department will be handled by Joel Rechlicz and Tim Jackman. There also could be bad blood stemming from an incident involving defenseman Andy Sertich and Penguins’ forward Tim Wallace from last year. Here’s the video of what happened. Wallace ended up getting suspended for 2 games for the questionable hit. Today, it was announed that RW Nick Johnson and G Dave Brown were demoted to the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL. The Philadelphia Flyers are now affiliated with the Mississippi Sea Wolves, which means the Nailers will now be strictly affiliated with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Adam Berkhoel starts in net for WBS. G Yann Danis starts for Bridgeport. |
