Nino Niederreiter arrives at 19 years old just in time for a game geared to kids. Write your own joke. It’s too early.
The kid slots in with David Ullstrom and Jeremy Colliton, moving Tony Romano down and Tyler McNeely out. Some more rearrangement along the way. Trevor Gillies returns. Anton Klementyev gets back in. And on the other side, with a roster in even more flux than Bridgeport’s, we apparently get a look at Ryan Bourque.
