Bridgeport and Prospect Roundup 1/10

Oh Mikko Kosikinen, they gave you the ball to run with it and you have done the complete opposite. The Sound Tigers lost all four games this weekend, giving up Five goals in back to back games (including the first appearance of Joel Martin in the AHL for 5 minutes) before losing two games in Overtime. Not all of it is Mikko's fault, in 12 regulation periods this week Bridgeport has been held under 10 shots seven times. In 2 of the 4 games Mikko had to face 40 shots including a 19 shot second period against Portland in which he gave up 3 goals.

Against Portland Brent Svendsen was named 3rd star, as Mark Katic [Svendsen] Svendsen [Rob Hisey] and Mark Wotton [Justin DiBenedetto, Jeremy Colliton] scored goals. Against Wilkes-Barre Scranton, Jean Bourbeau [Tony Romano] scored his first career AHL goal and Katic [Robin Figren, Ty Wishart] added another goal. In the 2-1 Overtime loss to Worcester, Kosikinen was named second star while Micheal Haley (Fight Video) [Brett Motherwell, Rhett Rakhshani] scored the lone BP goal. Finally in the 4-3 Overtime loss to Manchester, Oliver Labelle was named second star and Justin DiBenedetto was named third star. Svendsen [Wishart, Hisey] DiBenedetto [Labelle, Romano] and Labelle [David Ullstrom, Katic] scored goals for BP. (Romano and Friesen give Teddy Bears to a Children's Hospital)
