WOLF PACK FALL 2-1 TO BRUINS
PROVIDENCE, RI – The Hartford Wolf Pack and Providence Bruins faced off in a playoff-style battle on Saturday night in Providence. Two third period goals from the Bruins proved to be the difference, however, as they skated away with a 2-1 decision.
Riley Tufte won a battle for the puck deep in the Wolf Pack’s zone late in regulation time. After gaining possession, Tufte centered a pass to Jaxon Nelson. Nelson snapped a shot by Dylan Garand at 14:54, giving the Bruins the lead for good. The tally was Nelson’s second of the season.
Garand was sensational for the Wolf Pack in the opening frame, making ten saves to keep the Bruins off the board. He allowed the club to get their footing on the road, which paid major dividends in the final moments of the period.

Tyler Pitlick stung his former team 2:05 into the third period, tying the game. Pitlick worked his way down the right-wing side, cut to the front of the net, and deposited a backhand bid by Garand’s right pad.
Nelson’s goal late in the period gave the Bruins the lead for good. It proved to be Nelson’s first career game-winning goal.
The Wolf Pack applied pressure six-on-five late, but Bussi slammed the door shut, clinching the Bruins a Calder Cup Playoff berth.
