Wolf Pack Weekly, November 11-17

Nov 11, 2019

The Wolf Pack (10-1-0-4, 24 pts.) maintained first place overall in the AHL, with five out of a possible six points in three games this past weekend.  The club returned home to the XL Center on Friday night, after four straight games on the road, and snapped an 0-1-0-2 skid with a 2-1 victory over the Hershey Bears.  Captain Steven Fogarty had a goal and an assist in that game, and Darren Raddysh scored his second goal of the season, and his second game-winner.  The Wolf Pack took a 3-1 lead into the third period on Saturday night at home, but were victimized by a Belleville Senator comeback and lost 4-3 in a shootout.  Tim Gettinger and Vinni Lettieri had power-play goals in that game, Lewis Zerter-Gossage scored his first of the year, and Fogarty had two more points with a pair of assists.  The weekend concluded with a trip to Providence on Sunday, and the Wolf Pack got into double digits in wins on the year with a 2-1 triumph over the Bruins.  Another Gettinger goal was the game-winner; Vincent LoVerde scored his second of the season, and Nick Jones assisted on both.
