BRIDGEPORT, CT â The American Hockey League's Bridgeport Sound Tigers, top affiliate of the National Hockey League's New York Islanders, have released Forward Brent Gauvreau from a professional tryout contract.

Gauvreau, 24, has 20 goals, 35 assists, 55 points and 38 penalty minutes in 41 games with Mississippi this season. The 6'3'' 210-pound native of Sudbury, Ontario also had an assist for the Western Conference at the ECHL's All-Star game in Peoria, Illinois just before signing with the Sound Tigers.
