Meskanen nets Hartford’s lone goal in loss to Rochester

Rochester Americans 4, Hartford Wolf Pack 1

Hartford, CT, February 2, 2019 – A late third-period goal by Ville Meskanen prevented the Hartford Wolf Pack from being shut out by the Rochester Americans Saturday night at the XL Center, but Jonas Johansson stopped 34 other Wolf Pack tries in a 4-1 Rochester win.

C.J. Smith had two goals and an assist for the Americans, and Eric Cornel also scored twice.

“The big picture is that we’re doing great things,” Meskanen said. “Then there’s like a small, careless pass and some guys are maybe sleeping, and it creates a scoring chance for the opponent.
