New forward Tyler Ruegsegger is dressed and in Tim Wallace’s old spot, but Bridgeport took warmup without a second goalie. They should have him soon enough: Reportedly in the house to back up Anders Nilsson is Joe Fallon. In 54 career AHL games for Rockford, Peoria and San Antonio, Fallon has a 2.84 GAA and a .903 save percentage, going 22-23-1 with two shutouts. “He can definitely be a difference maker at the next level,” Wranglers coach Ryan Mougenel told the Las Vegas Sun, which reported it this morning.
Both teams have one to scratch, and from the first rushes for both, looked like Romano and former Sound Tigers forward Ryan Duncan. Edit: Yep.

By the way, Abbotsford went 3-for-3 on the penalty kill late last night, so Bridgeport is straight-up second on the PK going into today. They were tied going into last night.
