"Tikkanen, 25, returns to Worcester as one of the club's all-time leaders between the pipes. The 6-foot-9 native of Lohja, Finland, ranks second in franchise history in wins (31), shutouts (4), minutes played (3,794), and saves (1,889), while sitting third in games played (65). He spent most of last season with AHL Bridgeport, going 14-24-6 with a 3.32 goals-against average and a .890 save percentage across his AHL career."
"Lennox, 22, also heads back to Worcester, where he impressed in limited action last year. The 2021 third-round pick by the Islanders (93rd overall) posted a 2.94 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 13 ECHL appearances. The Ottawa native made his NHL debut on April 10 against the Rangers, becoming the third former Railer to reach the NHL. Both goalies now rejoin Head Coach and General Manager Nick Tuzzolino's squad in Worcester, which begins its ECHL campaign later this month."
Bridgeport Islanders will open the season with Marcus Högberg and Parker Gahagen as their goaltending tandem, aiming for greater stability in net.

Tikkanen, 25, returns to Worcester as one of the franchise leaders with 31 wins, four shutouts, 3,794 minutes and 1,889 saves, and he finished last season 14-24-6 with a 3.32 goals-against average and .890 save percentage in the AHL. Lennox, 22, posted a 2.94 GAA and .909 save percentage in 13 ECHL appearances and made his NHL debut on April 10. Both goalies rejoin Coach and GM Nick Tuzzolino’s Worcester squad for the upcoming ECHL campaign.
