Hartford Wolf Pack News Release
The Wolf Pack (11-12-1-2, 25 pts., .481) carried a four-game winning streak into this past week, but came out of the week in a three-game drought. The win streak ended Wednesday night in Bridgeport, with a tight 2-1 loss to the Sound Tigers. Boo Nieves had the only Wolf Pack goal. Hartford went up 3-1 on the division-leading Charlotte Checkers at the XL Center on Friday night, but Charlotte then reeled off five unanswered goals on the way to a 7-4 win. Peter Holland tallied twice in that game for the Wolf Pack. The Wolf Pack scored first against the Hershey Bears on the road Saturday, and got a goal and an assist each from Bobby Butler and Vinni Lettieri, and two assists from Vince Pedrie, but ended up on the short end of a 6-3 score.

This week:
The Wolf Pack embark on their first of two trips on the year to Charlotte, NC, for a pair of games vs. the Checkers. The first clash is Thursday night at 7:00 PM, and then the two teams rematch on Saturday night at 6:00.
Thursday, December 13 at the Charlotte Checkers (Carolina) at Bojangles' Coliseum, 7:00 PM
- This is the Wolf Pack's first visit of the year to Charlotte, where they have never won in six all-time games (0-6-0-0). Hartford was 0-4-0-0 at Bojangles' Coliseum last season. The Wolf Pack and Checkers have split a pair of meetings at the XL Center this year, the Wolf Pack winning 5-3 December 1 and the Checkers prevailing 7-4 this past Saturday.
- Charlotte comes into the week on a three-game winning streak, and the Atlantic Division leaders' (19-6-1-0, 39 pts., .750) margin over second-place Bridgeport is up to seven points.
- A Checker line of Nicolas Roy (1-3-4) centering Janne Kuokkanen (2-1-3) and Martin Necas (0-4-4) combined for 11 points in Charlotte's 7-4 victory over the Wolf Pack Friday at the XL Center. That helped earn CCM/AHL Player of the Week honors for Necas, who totaled seven assists in the Checkers' two games over the weekend.
