Hartford, CT - With high-scoring P.A. Parenteau back from a bout with injury and the flu, Corey Potter back from a stint with the New York Rangers and newcomers Kris Newbury and Anders Eriksson making significant contributions, the Hartford Wolf Pack won their second game in a row Saturday night for the first time since mid-January.

All-Star center Corey Locke had two goals and an assist, Newbury chipped in a goal and two assists, Dane Byers and Brodie Dupont each had a goal and an assist and Parenteau had three assists, as the Wolf Pack rallied from an early deficit to score a 6-2 victory over the Lowell Devils before 7,654 at the XL Center Saturday night.

The Wolf Pack (28-28-6-5) won for the second time in as many nights after a season-high, seven-game winless streak (0-3-3-1) and 1-8-3-1 slide ended with a 4-2 victory over the Springfield Falcons Friday. It was the Wolf Pack's first back-to-back victories since beating the Providence Bruins Jan. 10 and 16. They're 6-13-5-1 since then, and the much-needed wins enabled the Wolf Pack to remain within six points of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, who won a second shootout in as many nights in Norfolk, Va., for the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.
