Struggling for offense throughout their four-game losing slide, a visit with the 30th-placed Hartford Wolf Pack provided an opportunity for the Marlies to grab some momentum at the start of a six-game road trip. There have been plenty of goals scored between these two teams in the season series and this fourth and final meeting did not disappoint in that respect.
