Wolf Pack Weekly, January 16-21

Jan 16, 2018

The Wolf Pack (15-20-3-3, 36 pts., .439) played four games over the last six days, all on the road, and went 1-3-0-0 in the four contests.  Marek Mazanec made an AHL career-high, and Wolf Pack season-high, 46 saves, and went 3-for-3 in the shootout, Wednesday night in Bridgeport, in a 2-1 shootout win.  The Wolf Pack then headed up to the Great White North for a pair of games, and started the trek with a 4-2 loss at Laval on Friday.  On Saturday night in Belleville, Hartford took a 2-1 lead in the third period against the Senators, but then fell victim to a three-goal Belleville flurry in the last 3:46, losing 4-2.  Finally, in a holiday matinee Monday at Springfield, the Wolf Pack ended up on the short end of a 5-1 score against the Thunderbirds.
