Hartford Wolf Pack News Release
After only one regulation loss in the season's first 17 games, the Wolf Pack (11-4-0-5, 27 pts.) went 0-3 in a trio of games against North Division opponents this past week. In the annual "Sonar's Edu-skate" school-day game at the XL Center on Wednesday, the Syracuse Crunch broke a scoreless deadlock with two goals in a span of 51 seconds late in the second period, on the way to a 3-1 win over the Wolf Pack. The only Hartford goal in that game was scored by Lias Andersson, in his first AHL action of the season. The Wolf Pack suffered its first shutout-against of 2019-20 Friday night in Rochester, falling to the Americans by a score of 4-0, and the Crunch bested the Wolf Pack again on Saturday night in Syracuse, 6-3. Andersson scored again in that game, and the other Wolf Pack goals came from Matt Beleskey and Steven Fogarty.
