BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - The Sound Tigers winning streak is now at five games as Ryan Pulock scored two power play goals to help Bridgeport defeat the Hartford Wolf Pack 5-2 on Saturday night at Webster Bank Arena.
Eleven different players found the score sheet as once again the Sound Tigers used a balanced scoring effort to defeat the Wolf Pack for the second straight night.
With the game tied 1-1 in the 2nd period, Pulock gave the Sound Tigers the lead for good with a rocket of a shot from the blueline on the power play. Pulock's second goal of the game was a carbon copy of his first as he helped to extend the Sound Tigers lead to 4-2 in the 3rd period.
Hartford would get on the board first in the game as Chris McCarthy found the back of the net just a little over five minutes into the game. The Sound Tigers would not take long to answer as they tied it with 5:39 remaining in the first period as Chris Langkow put in his own rebound.
With the score 2-1 just over four minutes into the 3rd period, Mike Halmo scored for the second straight night as he helped extend the Bridgeport lead to 3-1.
Colin McDonald would add an empty net goal to wrap the scoring for the evening for the Sound Tigers. Alan Quine would earn an assist on the goal, extending his point streak to nine games, tied for the longest streak in the AHL this season.
Kael Mouillierat continued his strong play as of late, notching two assists to extend his point-scoring streak to six games. Captain Aaron Ness picked up two assists as well, with both coming on the goals scored by Pulock.
David Leggio earned his third win of the season for the Sound Tigers as he made 25 saves while the Wolf Pack's Mackenzie Skapski made 24 saves in the loss.
