The Wolf Pack answered less than three minutes later when Ryan Graves delivered a power-play goal for his third tally of the season overall. With Pat Cullity in the box for interference, Mat Bodie directed a pass to the right point where Graves slammed a one-timer through traffic and past McAdam's;
