Bridgeport coaches Jack Capuano and Pat Bingham will be behind the bench tonight for the Islanders; Scott Gordon will watch from up top.

Spoke to Nino Niederreiter down in the hallway just now and he said he received some sage advice from vets Mark Streit and Kyle Okposo. 

Streit wished him good luck and told him to enjoy himself; Okposo told him to shoot as much as possible.

"I heard he didn't do that a lot last year, so I'll try to to do that," Niederreiter said.
