BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - Sam Anas tallied twice for the second straight game and posted three points. Dakota Joseph scored a late power play goal propelling the Springfield Thunderbirds to a 3-2 win past the Hartford Wolf Pack, who dropped their fifth game in their last six. Hartford (.553) held onto fourth place and have a minuscule point percentage lead over tomorrow night’s opponent, the Hershey Bears (.548) who were shut out 2-0 in Providence by the second-place Bruins. Rookie Nils Lundkvist was called for the penalty and Anas began the winning play by launching the first shot. It was stopped by Huska. Veteran James Neal got a piece of the shot and Joseph was all alone in front of the net and was able to bury his fifth of the season into the back of the net at 15:09. The defensive duo of Matt Robertson and Zac Jones were both victimized just 19 seconds into the penalty. “We had a good first period and really good in the third period. We got a good power play goal, but they got two. I don’t think we deserved five penalties.” That was as far as Head Coach Kris Knoblauch would go in his criticism of the officiating. The Pack thought they might engineer a third-period comeback scoring a power play goal of their own at 6:36. Lauri Pajuniemi returned to the lineup and uncorked a rocket of a shot for his tenth of the season into the open right side of the net. His game has been missed and his whole game impressed Knoblauch. “For a guy who has hardly played in three or four weeks (one game in the last five weeks) to not only score a goal but play a heckuva of a game was not easy for a guy to come into our lineup. Lauri was impressive for us.” Springfield was granted another early power play in the second period. A power play specialist in his playing days in Hartford, Springfield Head Coach, Drew Bannister, put out five forwards and struck gold. “Springfield has very good and dangerous players whether they have five or four forwards or not out there. There tough to defend against.” Hugh McGing and James Neal were stopped, but three times was the charm as Anas scored his second goal in two games and collected his 18th of the season. Adam Huska kept the score close with some key goaltending. At 8:40 James Neal on a breakaway took away the intended right side of the net. Then just after the goal, the Thunderbirds' Mathias Laffiere was denied and then Anthony Greco hit his third post in two games. “Adam did a good job making it only a one-goal game after 40 minutes. He played really well for us. We gave up too many odd-man rushes.” At 14:58, former Wolf Pack Josh Wesley, the son of former Hartford Whaler Glen Wesley, came from his own zone and sprung Will Bitten for a breakaway. Huska made the stop. Puck management, or lack thereof, was the culprit in a less than a sterling second period where the Pack only generated five shots. “We were atrocious. We turned the puck over way too many times at the blue line whether on the attack or defending," Knoblauch said. "Six were a direct result of turning the puck over at the blue line. Nothing had to do with defending, it was the puck management.” With 2:05 left, Springfield’s Hugh McGing was stopped on the doorstep as Huska lost his stick in the process. Defenseman Zac Jones was backchecking and assisted him in keeping the puck out. The Wolf Pack grabbed the lead as rookie Brandon Scanlin sent a blast from the point. It was blocked in front and Jones found the biscuit and sent a short pass to Patrick Khordorenko who whistled his seventh goal of the season past Charlie Lindgren for a 1-0 lead at 12:37. “Scanlin played well he played a very good game for us, kept it simple, got the puck for us played very well, has a good shot from the point. and made a nice play and it can be a bit overwhelming in playing your first game from college he played a really good game.” The big guns of Springfield came through as Joseph was down low and found Anas and he scored his 17th goal and hit the half-century mark in points in the process. Anas was on the left-wing goal line and able to have his shot in a tight area. He had eyes and eluded Huska with 3:33 left. Huska made several big stops early as the Thunderbirds had an advantage in shots. He stopped two back-to-back attempts by Hugh McGing. Mathias Laffiere is the rookie from the Montreal area and has had one goal in the first 40 games. He left Matt Robertson in the dust. He got around Huska who went for the poke check but lost that battle, however, Laffiere hit the side of the net. Nick Merkley made a nice play in his second Wolf Pack game had a solid bid for his first goal on the right-wing. He made a good move on Lindgren who reached back and just made the save and the officials reviewed and confirmed no goal.

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings LAVAL, QUEBEC - The Hartford Wolf Pack are no longer unbeaten. Off a strong third period, the Laval Rocket (5-5-1-0) pulled away from the Pack (8-1-0-1) and handed them their first regulation loss of the season, by a 4-1 score. “They played well, but our execution wasn’t good at all. We gave the puck away and they did a good job defending. We need to be sending and receiving passes. We weren’t able to make plays and move up the ice together,” remarked head coach, Kris Knoblauch. The Pack were not their crisp selves in part because Laval was so good at puck possession and using their sticks to force turnovers, leading directly to two Laval goals in the third period with the second goal being a classic example. Alexandre Alain, the game’s First Star, was able to swipe the puck from Sean Day moving through center ice. With inside position, Nick Ebert was looking to angle him off, and put a shot toward the net. Ebert's check sent it in goaltender, Igor Shesterkin, knocking him off his feet as the puck slid into the net at 10:23. The Rockets got their scoring fueled tallied again 1:11 later. Again, it was a turnover that became a two-on-one for Laval with Charles Hudon on the left wing. He made no mistake launching his third over Shesterkin’s glove hand. “I don’t know, but it was something all night. No question, those two goals were from turnovers. We just have to protect the puck and chip it past people. Passing is so important and we struggled with that at times tonight," said Knoblauch. In an unusual move with 4:23 remaining in the game and with a power play, Knoblauch pulled his goaltender giving the Wolf Pack the most sustained pressure in the offensive zone they had down two goals. “I pulled him early because the power play struggled tonight, and it felt like we weren’t going to score five-on-four, so let’s try six-on-four.  We started to push and play with more desperation. It just wasn’t our night,” the Pack coach said. Two of the four shots came off the Sherbrooke native, Gabriel Fontaine, who had family on hand, hit one off the pipe. The other stung Laval goalie, Charlie Lindgren. It was no small solace for Fontaine. “They were just two chances, not goals. We're looking forward to Friday. We just didn’t have our full passion tonight. We're trying to force plays. We didn’t get pucks behind them, so were gonna learn from it for Friday,” Fontaine said. It sounds trite and repetitive, but very factually correct. Laval had more puck possession and more quality shots as Shesterkin kept the Wolf Pack in the game in second period. At 9:47, Alain swooped in all alone and Shesterkin shut the door. Lukas Vejdeno sent Joe Cox in off the left-wing and was denied. The Wolf Pack then caught a break as Steven Fogarty went behind the net and spotted an open Tim Gettinger in front. He took the pass and quickly buried his second past Lindgren late in the second period at 16:16. “Tim has earned the move up. He has been playing so well. That goal is proof of that,” said Knoblauch. The Wolf Pack power play went 0-4 and is clearly struggling. One of its aces, Vinni Lettieri, had two shots and fanned on a quality opportunity. “He doesn’t do that often. He is getting enough space for shots. I don’t want him taking shots from along the boards. I want them in the middle of the ice.” The Rocket made the home fans happy with the game’s first tally on the power play. Hudon won the face-off and got it back to Phil Varone, with the forward working the left point on the power play and launched a shot through traffic. Shesterkin made the save but couldn’t control the rebound. Laval’s Michael McCarron, a 6’6 center, was able to out-muscle the Pack’s Mason Geersten and slipped his first of the season from the left side of the net into the goal. The Wolf Pack got into a bit of horse race through sections of the first period with Shesterkin saving it from being a larger score in the Rocket’s favor. Vejdeno scooted around a defenseman, and Shesterkin used his right pad to keep the goal horn from blaring. He also stopped the rebound shot. Xavier Ouellette shot from the right point and was rejected by a blocker pad save. The two best Pack shots came off the stick of Vinni Lettieri.

He spotted and captured a Ville Meskanen dump-in that Rocket rearguard Gustav Olofsson missed and fed an open Tim Gettinger in front of the net. He quickly took the pass and buried his second of the season past Lindgren late in the second period at 16:16. “Tim has earned the move up, he has been playing so well, and that goal is proof of that,” said Knoblauch. The Wolf Pack powerplay, which went 0-4, is clearly struggling. One of its aces, Vinni Lettieri, had two shots and fanned on one quality opportunity. “He doesn’t do that often,” Knoblach said. But when questioned about Lettieri having enough space to operate, he said, "I don’t want him taking shots from along the boards. I want them in the middle of the ice, where he is more effective.” The Rocket made the home fans happy scoring the game’s first tally while on the powerplay. Hudon won the faceoff back to forward, Phil Varone, who was working the left point on the powerplay. He launched a shot through traffic that Shesterkin saved, but the rookie goaltender couldn’t control the rebound. Laval’s 6’6 center, Michael McCarron, was able to outmuscle the Pack’s 6’4 forward, Mason Geersten, and slipped his first of the season into the net from the left side at 10:31.

Laval Rocket 4, Hartford Wolf Pack 1 BY: Bob Crawford, Hartford Wolf Pack Laval, Quebec, October 30, 2019 – The Laval Rocket scored three third-period goals Wednesday night at Place Bell, to hand the Hartford Wolf Pack its first regulation loss of the season, 4-1, in the first of two games this week between the two teams in Laval. The Wolf Pack had been 8-0-0-1 previously on the year, just one point short of the best nine-game start in franchise history. Hartford outshot Laval 9-4 in the third and had three power plays in the period, but unassisted goals by Alexandre Alain and Charles Hudon 1:11 apart broke a 1-1 tie and Nikita Jevpalovs iced the game with an empty-net goal. “It was a little disappointing in the third period,” Wolf Pack head coach Kris Knoblauch said.  “We had an opportunity to win, and a couple of turnovers, and when the puck was on our stick, just not executing.  Overall, maybe it was one that we didn’t deserve to win, but we had every opportunity to win it and just didn’t get it done.” The Rocket scored the only goal of the first period, on a power play that resulted from a slashing penalty against Ty Ronning at 9:37. Michael McCarron clicked on a rebound at 10:31, pushing the puck underneath the pads of Wolf Pack goaltender Igor Shestyorkin (20 saves), after he had stopped a shot from the slot by Phil Varone. That lead lasted until the 16:16 mark of the second frame when Tim Gettinger scored his second of the season to lift the Wolf Pack into a tie.  After Ville Meskanen dumped the puck in for Hartford, a Gustav Olofsson pass missed Ryan Poehling along the end boards, and that allowed Steven Fogarty to grab the puck.  He slid it to the front of the net, and Gettinger quickly banged it past Rocket goaltender Charlie Lindgren (22 saves) from close range. The Wolf Pack carried that momentum over into the third period, drawing penalties against Otto Leskinen for interference at 3:23 and Hudon for tripping at 8:01, but they could not score against the Rocket’s league-leading penalty kill. Just 53 seconds after Hudon got out of the penalty box, Alain scored what turned out to be the game-winner.  The Wolf Pack’s Sean Day fanned on a pass attempt high in the Hartford zone, and Alain stole the puck away.  He broke in on Shestyorkin and was able to force the puck through the goaltender’s legs at 10:54. Then, at 12:05, Hudon blasted a shot from the left-wing side over Shestyorkin’s catching glove, after a Darren Raddysh pass had gone off of Patrick Newell in the neutral zone. The Wolf Pack got Shestyorkin to the bench for an extra attacker with 4:23 left, after Olofsson was called for tripping at 14:25, but could not solve Lindgren.  After Laval’s fourth successful penalty kill of the night, Jevpalovs hit the empty net from the Wolf Pack blue line at 18:13. The Wolf Pack and Rocket tangle again at Place Bell Friday night, with faceoff at 7:30 PM.  All of the action can be heard live on-line at hartfordwolfpack.com, and video streaming is available at ahllive.com. The Wolf Pack’s next home game is next Friday, November 8, when they host the Hershey Bears at the XL Center.  Face-off is 7:15, and once again this season, all Friday-night Wolf Pack home games feature $1 hot dogs and $2 beers through the start of the second period, presented by Nomads Adventure Quest.

Hartford Wolf Pack 2, Laval Rocket 1 (OT) BY: Bryce Grundy, Hartford Wolf Pack Hartford, CT, October 25, 2019 – Danny O’Regan’s goal with 41.4 seconds left in overtime gave the Hartford Wolf Pack a 2-1 win over the Laval Rocket Friday night at the XL Center. The Wolf Pack trailed the game as late as the 18:23 mark of the third period, when Nick Ebert scored, with goaltender Igor Shesterkin headed to the bench for an extra attacker. “I think they wanted to come in and be the first ones to beat us in regulation,” Wolf Pack head coach Kris Knoblauch said. “It felt like a playoff game tonight.” The Rocket jumped on the board first with the man advantage in the second frame. Ryan Poehling got the lone goal for the Rocket at 7:33, with assists from Phil Varone and Alex Belzile. Laval nearly made that lead stand up, but Ebert finally solved Rocket goaltender Charlie Lindgren (19 saves) with a slap shot to the stick side. “Their D gave a nice screen for me,” Ebert said. “At the end of the game, we got the job done. It wasn’t the prettiest, but it’s two points. We’ll come back at it tomorrow.” It was then O’Regan who sealed the deal for the Pack in overtime, letting go a blistering one-timer from the left-wing circle, off a cross-slot pass from Boo Nieves. The goal came one second after a tripping penalty to Laval’s Josh Brook expired. “I saw Boo rush and had to jump into the play,” said O’Regan. “I drove the net and he put it right on my tape. “We worked hard and are a tough team to play against. The power play is something we need to work on to get some momentum.” Shesterkin also provided the team with much-needed momentum throughout the game, stopping 18 of 19 Rocket shots. “Couldn’t be more impressed with Igor from the second he got here. He’s got a great attitude,” commented Wolf Pack defenseman Ryan Lindgren “Tonight showed a lot about our team and the way we play the game. We’re able to finish late.” The win kept the Wolf Pack unbeaten in regulation for the season, at 6-0-0-1 for 13 points. The Wolf Pack are right back at the XL Center Saturday night, hosting the Bridgeport Sound Tigers at 7:00 PM, and it’s “Witches & Wizards night”.

BY: Bob Crawford, Hartford Wolf Pack Laval, Quebec, October 17, 2018 – The Laval Rocket’s Michael Chaput scored two shorthanded goals against the Hartford Wolf Pack Wednesday night at Place Bell, leading the Rocket to a 5-2 win. Steven Fogarty scored twice in the third period for the Wolf Pack, after Charlie Lindgren had blanked Hartford through the first two periods. “We didn’t give ourselves a chance, in the offensive zone, to generate any scoring chances,” Wolf Pack head coach Keith McCambridge said.  “And that started with not winning those 50-50 puck battles so you can regain possession.  Then they had long blocks of time where we were on our heels, defending.  We get it (the puck) on the wall once, unable to get it out (of the defensive zone), twice, three times, and we still can’t get it out.  We all know, eventually, if you can’t get it out that many times, and you’re defending for a minute-plus in your own end, it’s going to be in the back of your net.” The only scoring of the first period was Chaput’s first of his two shorthanded goals, scored at 18:28 with Michael McCarron in the penalty box for high-sticking. After the Wolf Pack failed to convert a good chance, a Brett Lernout feed sent Chaput and Alex Belzile out on a 2-on-1.  Belzile got the one Wolf Pack player back, John Gilmour, to commit to him in the Wolf Pack zone and dished the puck to the left side for Chaput, whose shot beat Hartford goaltender Marek Mazanec (17 saves) to the glove side. The Rocket then put up three more in the second frame, starting just 3:43 in with Lukas Vejdemo’s first AHL point.  Mazanec stopped a shot from the left point by Brett Kulak, but the rebound went off of Mazanec and into the slot, and Vejdemo fought off Sean Day’s check and flicked the puck into the net. The Wolf Pack then gave up a second shorthanded goal in two power-play opportunities at 9:36, after Lernout was sent off for high-sticking at 8:46.  Again it was Chaput with the finish after Belzile poked the puck away from Chris Bigras in center ice.  That created a 2-on-0 on Mazanec, who made a fine save on Belzile’s initial shot from in front but could not control the rebound, and Chaput capitalized with a high shot from the right side. Later in the period, the Rocket were able to establish a strong forecheck, and that created a goal by Hunter Shinkaruk at 14:45.  After the Wolf Pack missed several opportunities to get the puck out of the defensive zone, Maxime Lamarche passed to the goal mouth from the right side of the slot, and Shinkaruk easily knocked it in on his forehand. The Wolf Pack power play turned things in a positive direction at 3:54 of the third period, with Fogarty getting Hartford on the board on a deflection following a call on Daniel Audette for slashing at 2:08.  Bigras shot the puck from the left point, and Fogarty tipped it past Lindgren. Byron Froese restored the two-goal margin at 11:13, knocking in his own rebound.  Mazanec disputed that goal, as his mask was knocked off, but it was allowed to stand. Fogarty’s second goal of the game made the final 5-2.  That was an unassisted score, as Fogarty worked the puck loose just inside the Rocket blue line and went off on a breakaway.  He faked Lindgren and slipped the puck through his legs with 1:49 left. The Wolf Pack continue their only Canadian road trip of the season, and a stretch of four straight and nine out of 11 on the road, this Friday night, October 19, when they travel to Belleville, Ontario to take on the Belleville Senators.  Faceoff is 7:00 PM and all of the action can be heard live on News Radio 1410 WPOP, and online at newsradio1410.com and iHeartRadio.  Video streaming is available at theahl.com/AHLTV. The next Wolf Pack home game is next Wednesday, October 24, a 7:00 PM contest vs. the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.  That is another opportunity to take advantage of the Wolf Pack’s “Click It or Ticket Family Value Pack,” which includes two tickets, two sodas, and two hot dogs, all for just $40.
