With the Florida Panthers playing a Monday game, that pushed back this week’s minor-league update. So, let’s take a hump day look back at how the Springfield Thunderbirds and Greenville Swamp Rabbits fared this past weekend.
The Thunderbirds had a busy weekend playing all three days and compiled a 1-1-1 record that left them stuck in fifth place in the AHL’s Atlantic Division.
On Friday, the T-Birds posted a 5-3 victory over the lowly Binghamton Devils on home ice. Owen Tippett opened the scoring with his 11th of the season and collected two assists.
