Wolf Pack fall 3-2 to Bruins in overtime

The Hartford Wolf Pack rallied to tie the game late on Wednesday night but could not complete the comeback as they dropped a 3-2 decision in overtime to the Providence Bruins. The loss was the Wolf Pack’s fifth in a row (0-2-3-0).

Dylan Garand was the story of the opening frame, as the Wolf Pack were outshot by a 15-5 margin. Garand denied all 15 bids from the Bruins, however, keeping the score 0-0 through 20 minutes.

The Bruins broke the ice 14:05 into the second period, as Joey Abate potted his first goal of the season. Jake Schmaltz sent a pass toward the net for Abate, who got a piece and tipped the puck by Garand to make it 1-0. The assist was Schmaltz’s second of the season.

Just over four minutes later, at 18:38, Justin Dowling drew the Wolf Pack even with his third strike of the campaign.

Following a turnover by the Bruins, Adam Sýkora gained possession just inside the offensive blueline. He flipped a quick pass to Dowling, who sprinted in on a breakaway and beat Michael DiPietro to make it 1-1.

11:12 into the third period, Brett Berard was whistled for hooking. On their third power play of the night, the Bruins broke through to take a 2-1 lead. Riley Tufte fired a shot from the top of the right-wing circle that Patrick Brown tipped in front. The redirection was enough to beat Garand at 12:43.

The goal was Brown’s sixth of the season.

Tufte took a penalty of his own at 17:27, as he was guilty of a hooking infraction. On the ensuing power play, the Wolf Pack elected to lift Garand and go with a six-on-four attack.

The move paid off.

Trey Fix-Wolansky let a shot go from the right-wing side that Dylan Roobroeck tipped in front. The puck got by DiPietro at 17:40, tying the game 2-2 and forcing overtime.

In the overtime period, Fabian Lysell cut down the left-wing side and maneuvered to the front of the net. There, he snapped a quick shot that beat Garand at 3:28 to give the Bruins the 3-2 victory.

The Pack is back at the newly renovated PeoplesBank Arena on Friday, Nov. 14, when the Rochester Americans come to town! The puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m., with ‘Wolf Pack Pregame’ set to begin at 6:45 p.m. on AHLTV on FloHockey and Mixlr. Tickets are available here.
