Soundin' Off

Bridgeport released Wes Cunningham, Kael Mouillierat and Tyler Ruegsegger from their tryouts today. Their ECHL teams all have games this week — Ruegsegger and Mouillierat could play each other three times in Boise by Friday — and there’s the possibility of players getting healthy here.

Josh Hennessy wound up with a broken nose on a Brett Gallant hit yesterday, Mark Divver reported. Hennessy thought the hit was OK.

Nick Niedert is going back to Elmira. Whirlwind of a week for him.

And we’ll chat Tuesday at 1:30, if folks are around.

Friday’s practice looked a lot like Thursday’s. Same players, same combinations, same everything. Only change was that Benn Olson was in the defensemen’s blue jersey instead of the fourth-line-forwards’ gray. Tyler Ruegsegger, whose beans were spilled yesterday by Alaska’s transactions, had not yet arrived. No new goalie yet, either. Brent Thompson mentioned Steve Valiquette again as a possibility.

Edit: Ruegsegger’s PTO announced officially a little before 3:30.

Portland plays tonight in Glens Falls against the Phantoms (Edit: box here) before coming here. The Sound Tigers have no ice in the morning, so no skate.

And I miss Community already.
