New York Islanders Fans Pack WebsterBank Arena for Game Two

After a heated first game, the Sound Tigers and Bears were back at it on Saturday night. But the intensity of Friday’s double-overtime victory appeared to take its toll as New York Islanders AHL affiliate Bridgeport played a mostly uninspired game. The series is now even at one game apiece.

Each team made roster changes.

In goal, Bridgeport netminder Jeremy Smith replaced Game one winner Chris Gibson.

Center Jeff Kubiak was inserted on the first line as Travis St. Denis served a one-game suspension for Friday’s hit on Aaron Ness.

Ness left that game on a stretcher but could reportedly return to the ice as early as Tuesday.
