Worcester Sharks News Release
HARTFORD, CT- The Sharks fell to the Hartford Wolf Pack 4-3 in Hartford on Friday night. It was the second straight game Worcester lost to Hartford by a one goal margin.
The Sharks (4-2-1-0) fell behind early, as Hartford Rookie Tyler Pyatt got the Wolf Pack (5-3-0-1) on the board at 16:06 of the first period with his first professional goal of his career after banging home a loose rebound in front of the net. The first period took only 27 minutes to complete as there were very few whistles and no penalties.
Pyatt would score his second goal of his career in the second period to give the Wolf Pack a 2-0 lead. Sharks Forward Mike Iggulden extended his point streak to seven games as he got the Sharks on the board at 10:02 of the second period to cut the lead in half. Patrick Traverse would tie things up at 2-2 with a power play goal at 16:06. The goal by Traverse was the first goal scored by Sharks Defencemen all season long. However, Dane Byers would give Hartford the lead once again with just over two minutes to go in the second period, after a goal mouth scramble in front of Thomas Greiss.
In the third period, Sharks Forward Tom Cavanaugh would tie the game at three, with his second goal of the season, a power play goal at 7:11. But, as the Wolf Pack had done all game long, striked right back, and this time for good, as Alex Bourret scored his second goal of the year at 13:43 to give Hartford the 4-3 lead.
Thomas Greiss made 29 saves for the Sharks, while Chris Holt made 20 saves for Hartford in the victory.
The Sharks return home to Worcester on Saturday to host the Philadelphia Phantoms. Game time is at 7:05 p.m. on "Fear Factor Night" with the first 3,000 fans to receive a Patrick Traverse Authentic Autographed Collectors Card. As with every Saturday Night, Sharks players will be signing autographs as part of "Saturday Night Signings" and college students can enjoy discounted tickets with a valid college ID.
