Other Game to Watch: On the last day of the season, there is still a lot on the line. Charlotte is in Milwaukee in a huge game for the Checkers. They need a point or a Houston Aeros loss of any kind (they are hosting Oklahoma City) in order to advance to the playoffs.

* – Bridgeport really doesn’t have a true “radio” broadcast. The Sound Tigers-centric radio feed is going to be found on AHL Live under the “radio” tab.
