BRIDGEPORT, CT - Micheal Haley, Jeremy Colliton and Brandon Svendsen each scored once to lead the Bridgeport Sound Tigers to a 3-1 win over the Portland Pirates in an American Hockey League game played this afternoon in front of 2,731 at Arena at Harbor Yard.

Josh Bailey collected a pair of assists in the win to help Bridgeport to improve to 15-13-1-2 on the season.
