THE STORY COMING IN
The Bridgeport Islanders (22-19-7-1) open a season-long, six-game homestand tonight when they welcome the Belleville Senators (20-25-4-1) to Total Mortgage Arena at 7 p.m. The Islanders are looking for their fourth straight win (would match a season high) after sweeping a trio of Atlantic Division rivals last weekend, including a 2-1 victory against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on the road Sunday. Chris Terry and Ruslan Iskhakov each scored in the first period and Jakub Skarek (8-11-3) provided clutch goaltending after that. The Islanders are seventh in the Atlantic Division, one point behind the Wolf Pack with two games in hand.
“DOLLAR DAYS”
Tonight is the first of two “Dollar Days”, a new concession promotion, featuring $1 beers and $1 hot dogs courtesy of Evolution Gaming. Each deal will be available throughout the concourse tonight and Thursday, Mar. 2nd against the Providence Bruins, beginning when doors open at 6 p.m. and running through the conclusion of the second intermission. 16 oz. cans available for just $1 include Coors Light, Miller Lite, Michelob Ultra, Corona, and Heineken. Total Mortgage Arena is also a proud supplier of Hummel-brand hot dogs.
