Wolf Pack Weekly, November 7-13

Nov 7, 2016

The Wolf Pack endured a tough week this past week, with one point in three games.  The Pack suffered their first shutout-against on the year Wednesday, in their “Sonar’s Edu-skate” school-day game at the XL Center, falling 4-0 to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, and then finished a season-high six-game homestand with a 5-4 overtime defeat against Bridgeport on Friday night.  In Providence on Saturday evening, the Wolf Pack outshot the Bruins 37-29 but found themselves on the short end of a 6-2 score.  Steven Fogarty tallied his first career pro goal in Saturday’s game, and Nicklas Jensen had a pair of scores on Friday night.
