Nathan Lawson

Lawson, who earned the game’s second star, stopped 26 Manchester shots for his 13th win of the year (13-12-3). Lawson got help from defenseman Jake Gannon, who scored for the second time this season with what seemed like a routine shot on goal that beat Bernier to the far side. Jon Gleed scored his first goal when he deflected the puck into the net off a shot from left wing Trevor Smith.

Jonathan Bernier

Bernier (26-17-5) took his 17th loss of the season with 28 saves on 30 shot. Manchester’s lone goal came when Corey Elkins (19) blasted a shot from the right face-off circle and sent the puck top shelf on Bridgeport’s goaltender Nathan Lawson.
