WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (WFSB) – The Hartford Wolf Pack completed a weekend sweep of Pennsylvania on Sunday evening, downing the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 3-2 at Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza.
First period
The Penguins scored the lone goal of the opening period just 1:29 in when a Jake Livanavage shot from the left-wing side snuck through traffic and beat Callum Tung.
Second period
Just 1:14 into the second period, the Wolf Pack responded. On the power play, Marc Del Gaizo stepped into a blast that beat Taylor Gauthier from the point. The goal, Hartford’s second power-play strike of the season, was Del Gaizo’s first as a member of the Wolf Pack.
13:30 later, the Wolf Pack took the lead.
Cole Beaudoin, who assisted on Del Gaizo’s power-play blast earlier in the period, set up Taylor Raddysh in the slot. Raddysh snapped a shot that beat Gauthier for his second goal in as many nights at 14:44, making it 2-1 for the Wolf Pack.
Third period
For the first time this season, the Wolf Pack carried a lead into the third period. They made good on that lead, hanging on for their second victory in less than 24 hours.
Nathan Aspinall made it 3-1 at 17:23 of the third period, potting his first career goal from the bottom of the right-wing circle. The goal, Hartford’s second on the power play on the night, proved to be the game-winner.
It was also Aspinall’s first career AHL goal and point.
Avery Hayes drew the Penguins within one at 18:46, but it proved to be too little, too late.
Tung made 38 saves to collect his first victory of the season.
What’s next
The Wolf Pack conclude their three-game road trip Friday night when they visit the Providence Bruins. The puck drop is set for 7:05 p.m., with coverage available on AHLTV on FloHockey.
The Pack is back at PeoplesBank Arena on Saturday, Oct. 10, for the annual home opener. The puck drop is set for 6 p.m. as the Wolf Pack welcome the Penguins to town.
