WORCESTER, MA – The Worcester IceCats beat the Hartford Wolf Pack in convincing fashion, 4-1, last night before 5,619 fans at the DCU Center. It was Worcester's fourth straight home victory and seventh in their last eight.

Mike Glumac broke a scoreless deadlock 14:54 into the second period on Worcester's fourth power play. It took the ‘Cats just 13 seconds to score on the man-advantage, with Glumac tipping home a Mike Mottau wrist shot taken from the point. Jon DiSalvatore was also credited with a helper on Glumac's 11th goal of the season.

Jay McClement's unassisted goal at 6:48 of the third period opened a 2-0 lead for the ‘Cats. McClement beat Jason LaBarbera stick-side on a 2-on-1, using Troy Riddle as the decoy. Hartford split Worcester's two-goal lead at 11:50 when Bryce Lampman tallied a power play goal right off a face-off in the IceCats zone.

The ‘Cats regained the two-goal advantage on D.J. King's breakway goal at 15:45. Aris Brimanis spotted King and sent the rookie in all alone on LaBarbera. Peter Sejna added an empty net marker with a little under four minutes to play.

Worcester goaltender Jason Bacashihua made 28 saves to improve his record to 13-6 and 9-2 at home. LaBarbera finished with 21 saves in the Wolf Pack net.

Worcester (24-13-2-2) travels to Portland for a game Saturday night against the Pirates. The ‘Cats next home game is this Sunday, when they host the Manchester Monarchs. Faceoff at the DCU Center is at 4:05 PM.
