Last weekend saw the Wolf Pack face some adversity, as the group collected just three of a possible six points against divisional opponents. That was enough to hold second in the division entering the new week. However, the Pack were unable to capitalize on opportunities to tie or get ahead of the first place Hershey Bears.
Entering this week, Hartford is 30-14-6-5 for 71 points and second place in the Atlantic Division. That ranks them third in the Eastern Conference and fifth in the American Hockey League. The Wolf Pack are 4-4-2 in their last ten games. In that span, the group lost twice at home and four times on the road.
