If you didn't get enough hot shootout action during the New York Islanders' opening weekend, their farm team finished the weekend with the extra-time breakaway drill as well.

John Persson finished the shootout in Bridgeport's 4-3 Sunday home win over Norfolk, with the team killing off a lengthy 5-on-3 at the end of regulation, a unit of Johan Sundstrom, Scott Mayfield and Joe Finley fronting Anders Nilsson, who was forced to make several saves (and make amends for a DiPie-sque puckhandling miscue).

Highlights: 4-3 (SO) over Norfolk, Oct. 6

The bottom six were shuffled slightly from the night before (see below).

Sunday's two points repaired an opening night loss to the Baby Penguins, where Anders Lee and Kirill Kabanov got the Sound Tigers off to a 2-1 lead in what became a 5-2 loss.

Pedan on the opener:

"We don’t know each other 100 percent, but we’re getting closer," Andrey Pedan said. "We’ve got a great team. There are just little things we need to work on, and we’re going to win games."
