A DAY OF FIRSTS HELPS SOUND TIGERS TO A 3-0 WIN

There isn't much that Bridgeport Sound Tigers' forward Pascal Morency will not do for his team. Early in the season, Morency did not play in the Sound Tigers' first three games but that never deterred his spirits. Since then, Morency has played in four games and in each match, he has left his mark whether it was a fight, big hit or getting under the skin of the opposing team. Tonight for the Sound Tigers he scored his first American Hockey League goal in the team's 3-0 victory over the Norfolk Admirals.
