WOLF PACK WEEKLY 

WOLF PACK WEEKLY:
November 3 – 9, 2008

The Wolf Pack jumped above the .500 mark last week by
winning two out of three home games, running their record to 5-4-0-1 for 11
points through 10 contests.  The Pack
posted its first overtime win Wednesday vs. Portland, 3-2, before falling to
the Worcester Sharks by a 4-2 score on Friday. 
Saturday night the Wolf Pack extended its franchise record for longest
winning streak against a single opponent to 12, as they knocked off the Albany
River Rats, 3-1.  P.A. Parenteau
registered the Wolf Pack’s first two-goal game of the season Friday and added
an assist in Saturday’s game, Matt Zaba posted his first AHL win Saturday with
25 saves against the River Rats, and Dave Urquhart scored 28 seconds into his
AHL debut in Saturday’s victory.

Worcester, and on Saturday night the Wolf Pack’s I-91 rivals the Springfield
