Hartford Wolf Pack News Release


BRIDGEPORT, CT - The Hartford Wolf Pack took an early lead and never looked back on Saturday night at Total Mortgage Arena. The Pack took round five of the 'Battle of Connecticut' by a score of 4-1 from the rival Bridgeport Islanders.

The Wolf Pack enjoyed a strong first period, outshooting the Islanders 7-5 and outscoring them 2-0.

Carey Terrance opened the scoring 3:13 in, tipping home his third goal of the season. Brandon Scanlin flung a backhander from the right-wing circle to the goal, where Terrance was able to get a piece of it.

The goal marked the second time in as many visits to Bridgeport where the Wolf Pack broke the ice.

Late in the period, Trey Fix-Wolansky extended the lead with his tenth goal of the season. During a sequence of sustained pressure in the offensive zone, the puck came to Fix-Wolansky in the right-wing circle. He ripped a quick shot that beat Marcus Högberg at 18:51.

The goal tied Fix-Wolansky for the team lead in goals and gave him the team lead in points with 18 (10 g, 8 a).

Brendan Brisson extended the lead just 1:26 into the middle frame. On their first power play of the night, Brennan Othmann found Brisson just inside of the left-wing circle. There, Brisson uncorked a blazing shot that beat Högberg to make it 3-0.

The goal was Brisson's third against the Islanders this season.

Daylan Kueffler got the Islanders on the board at 9:34, making it 3-1. Kueffler gained possession in the right-wing circle, cut around a defender, and went to the backhand. There, he beat Dylan Garand for just his second goal of the season.

The Wolf Pack cemented the two points with a late power play strike. Dylan Roobroeck took a pass in the right-wing circle from Brisson and roofed a shot over Högberg's right shoulder. The goal, scored at 16:41, completed a two-for-three night for the power play.

The Wolf Pack hit the road on Friday night to take on the Springfield Thunderbirds at the MassMutual Center. The 'I-91 Rivalry' is presented by Braman Pest. The puck drop is set for 7:05 p.m., with coverage starting at 6:50 p.m.

The Pack is back at the newly renovated PeoplesBank Arena on Jan. 10 when the Providence Bruins come to town. The puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m., with 'Wolf Pack Pregame' set to begin at 7:15 p.m. on AHLTV on FloHockey and Mixlr. Tickets are available.
