AHL.com: Has the recap of Bridgeport's 4-3 overtime loss after leading by two in third.
NYIFC Comments:
Game was more than there for Bridgeport with Holtby shaky and pk doing a great job, no idea if high stick on tying goal but Bridgeport had two goal lead and opposing goalie out in a game that would have had Hershey doing some serious second guessing.
Munroe was good, he did not have to steal the game from the opening minute as Bears seemed a step behind for much of this game.
If series goes deep and Bridgeport comes up short it's the game you absolutely know you had to take.
