Worcester Sharks News Release
HARTFORD- The Sharks had the Wolf Pack's number in the first three meetings, but it was Hartford with three power play goals to drop the Sharks 4-1 in Hartford on Friday night.
The Wolf Pack would open the scoring in the first period as Tommy Pyatt deflected a shot from the point in between the pads of Taylor Dakers at 6:59. Hartford would strike again just a few minutes later as Greg Moore scored a power play goal set up nicely by P.A. Parenteau at 8:56. The Sharks trailed 2-0 after twenty minutes with each club registering nine shots on goal.
After the Sharks failed to score on a 5on3 power play chance, Riley Armstrong would score a beautiful shorthanded breakaway goal midway through the 2nd period to get the Sharks within one. The goal was Riley's 10th of the season at 10:12 and was unassisted. But Hartford would convert on a 5on3 power play of their own, as defenseman Bobby Sanguinetti would fire a rocket through the pads of Dakers just 1:47 after the Sharks had gotten on the board. The Wolf Pack would take a 3-1 lead into the second intermission as the Sharks out shot Hartford 19-18 through 40 minutes of play.
Birthday boy Mike Moore would have the best chances in the third period for Worcester, hitting the post with a blazing shot from the point to begin the period. Hartford rookie David Urquhart would score some insurance with 1:47 remaining in the third period, the third power play strike of the game for the Wolf Pack.
