Wolf Pack Weekly, January 29-February 4

Jan 29, 2018

The Wolf Pack (20-20-3-3, 46 pts., .500) went into the AHL All-Star break on a roll, sweeping three games this past week to run a winning streak to a team season-high five games.  On Wednesday night in Utica, Cole Schneider scored his second goal of the game at 2:20 of overtime to lift the Wolf Pack to a franchise-record third straight OT win, a 4-3 triumph over the Comets.  The Wolf Pack then went beyond regulation for a fourth consecutive game, tying a franchise mark, on Friday at home vs. Charlotte, eventually prevailing 3-2 in a shootout.  Boo Nieves had a goal and an assist in that game.  Then, in a rematch with the Checkers on Saturday night at the XL Center, Alexandar Georgiev rang up his, and the Wolf Pack’s, second shutout of the season, and second clean sheet in a span of four games, making 38 saves in a 4-0 Hartford win.
