The Pack then fell by a 2-1 score at home to Bridgeport Saturday night, and were shut out for only the second time on the season Sunday in Providence, losing 3-0 to the Bruins. Steven Fogarty had his first pro multiple-point game in Tuesday's contest, with a goal and an assist, and Pavel Buchnevich netted his first career AHL goal in Friday's win.
