The Hartford Wolf Pack snapped their seven-game losing streak (0-3-4-0) Tuesday morning, when they defeated the Springfield Thunderbirds 3-2 in overtime. Captain Casey Fitzgerald scored the OT winner and added an assist. Brett Berard and Justin Dowling each had two points (one goal, one assist) in the much-needed win.
Despite their recent struggles, the Wolf Pack are tied for sixth-place (4-7-4-0, 12 points) with the Bridgeport Islanders for the final playoff spot in the Atlantic Division.
The Wolf Pack’s offense received a welcome boost when the New York Rangers assigned Gabe Perreault to Hartford on Sunday.
