For Bridgeport, they played Tuesday at home vs. the Springfield Falcons and lost 3-1. Andrew Pedan scored the only goal for the Sound Tigers in the loss.

Why you should care: Penguins come into a very important weekend with a lot to play for. The Sound Tigers, on the other hand, were eliminated from playoff contention last weekend and don’t have a lot to play for other than to play upset. Penguins cannot overlook this team and just think that the two points are in the bag before they step on the ice.
