Bridgeport Sound Tigers Week in Review

Written by: Steve Feldman on 10/14/2002

The Bridgeport Sound Tigers traveled to Binghamton to take on the Senators. This game was full of uncontrollable mishaps like the scoreboard that would sound the horn in the middle of the period or the thick layer of fog that overtook the ice. Early in the first period the Sound Tiger scored the only goal of the period. In the second period the Sound Tigers added another goal before the Senators had two goals of their own. The Sound Tigers scored one more goal, followed by two Senators goals. Bridgeport tied the game with under one minute left to play in the period, this would be the Sound Tigers last shot of the game. The third period saw neither team score and the score remained tied. In overtime Binghamton only needed 47 seconds to win the game.
