Hensick Leads Wolf Pack Past Admirals, 3-1

Norfolk, VA, February 8, 2014 – T.J. Hensick had a goal and an assist Saturday night at Norfolk Scope, to lead the Hartford Wolf Pack to a 3-1 victory over the Norfolk Admirals, in the teams’ last action before the AHL All-Star break.

Hartford Wolf Pack Micheal Haley and Marek Hrivik also scored for the Wolf Pack, and Dov Grumet-Morris made 21 saves. Kevin Gagne scored the only Norfolk goal.

The win gave the Wolf Pack a split of a two-game series with Norfolk, after the Admirals and goaltender John Gibson had shut Hartford out, 1-0, on Friday night at Scope.

“After last night, and the shutout that Gibson pitched, we asked for a little bit more net-front presence,” Wolf Pack head coach Ken Gernander said. “And right away, that first goal, (Haley) is tipping (the puck) net-front, and I think that was a big part of our success tonight, and both (Hensick) and (Hrivik) capitalized with two real good shots, on two pretty good offensive plays.”

The first period was tightly played, with both goaltenders making one-on-one saves before the first goal was scored. Grumet-Morris stopped a shorthanded breakaway by Joseph Cramarossa at 16:09, shortly after Gibson waited out Hensick on a break-in, causing Hensick to put the puck off the outside of the goalpost to Gibson’s left.

The Wolf Pack finally solved Gibson at 18:27, on Haley’s fourth goal of the season. Oscar Lindberg won a puck battle with Norm Ezekiel on the left-wing boards and lifted it toward the front of the net, and Haley, with his back to Gibson, deflected it perfectly through Gibson’s legs for a 1-0 Hartford lead.

The Wolf Pack would then chase Gibson from the game in a second period in which they would outshoot Norfolk 11-5 and score twice.

After Haley’s late goal in the first period, Hrivik made it a 2-0 Wolf Pack lead only 56 seconds into the second. Brendon Nash head-manned the puck out of the Hartford zone to Hensick near the Norfolk line, and Hensick one-touched it beautifully to Hrivik, who broke past the Admiral defense and put a shot into the top corner over Gibson’s catching glove.

Hensick then ended Gibson’s night with a goal in a delayed-penalty situation at 10:36, off of a stellar three-way passing play. J.T. Miller carried the puck into the Norfolk zone and handed off to Jesper Fast high in the slot. Fast then put a behind-the-back pass right on Hensick’s stick in the left-wing circle, and Hensick also went glove-side high to beat Gibson (16 saves), who was relieved at that point by Brad Thiessen.

Thiessen stopped all ten shots he faced the rest of the way, and Gagne ruined Grumet-Morris’ shutout bid on an Admiral power play at 6:01 of the third period. With Haley off for delay-of-game, Devante Smith-Pelly and Rickard Rakell combined to move the puck from the right-wing side to Gagne just inside the left faceoff dot, and Gagne fired a shot behind Grumet-Morris.

The victory sent the Wolf Pack (18-24-0-5, 41 pts.) into the All-Star break with wins in three of their last four games and five of their last seven.

After the All-Star break, the Wolf Pack return to action this Friday night, February 14, traveling to Springfield to meet the Falcons. Faceoff is 7:00, and all of the action can be heard live on Fox Sports Radio 1410, and on-line at www.foxsportsradio1410.com and iHeartRadio. Video streaming is available at www.ahllive.com.

The Wolf Pack’s next home game is Saturday, February 15, a 7:00 PM contest against the AHL-leading Manchester Monarchs. The first 3,000 fans into the XL Center that night will receive their very own Dylan McIlrath bobblehead.

Admirals Shut Out Wolf Pack, 1-0

Norfolk, VA, February 7, 2014 – Rookie goaltender John Gibson made 25 saves for his fourth shutout of the season Friday night at Norfolk Scope, and Chris Wagner’s third-period goal was the game’s only score, as the Norfolk Admirals defeated the Hartford Wolf Pack, 1-0.

Hartford Wolf Pack The loss snapped a two-game winning streak for the Wolf Pack, who fell to 17-24-0-5 (39 pts.) on the year.

After more than two-and-a-half scoreless periods, Wagner finally broke the 0-0 deadlock at 13:31 of the third, three seconds after a holding penalty to Hartford’s Jesper Fast expired. After Wolf Pack defenseman Aaron Johnson knocked the puck away from Wagner in the left circle, Kevin Gagne prevented Johnson from clearing. Gagne banged the puck at the net from the left point, and it hit Wagner and deflected past Wolf Pack goaltender David LeNeveu (13 saves).

The Wolf Pack outshot the Admirals 25-14 in the game, including 5-2 in the third period.

“I thought we outplayed them,” LeNeveu said. “I thought we outchanced them, we battled hard all game. We missed some open nets, and it’s just one of those games. One lucky bounce for them, and unfortunately that decides the game some nights.”

The Wolf Pack controlled much of the play in a scoreless first period, outshooting the Admirals 12-7 and forcing Gibson make several sharp saves.

Play was more even in the second period, with the Wolf Pack outshooting Norfolk 8-5, and the Admirals having two power plays to the Wolf Pack’s one, but again neither team could find the back of the net.

The Wolf Pack and Admirals tangle again Saturday night at Scope, in their last action before the AHL All-Star break, with faceoff at 7:15 PM. All the action can be heard live on Fox Sports Radio 1410, and on-line at www.foxsportsradio1410.com and iHeartRadio. Video streaming is available at www.ahllive.com.

Wolf Pack’s Added Depth at Center Helps Lindberg

By Bob Crawford

The Hartford Wolf Pack certainly didn’t coddle Swedish centerman Oscar Lindberg in his first North American pro hockey experience.

The 22-year-old Lindberg was installed as the Wolf Pack’s number-one pivot from the first drop of the puck this season, and the Pack coaching staff continued to count on him in that spot throughout the club’s first-half struggles.

Lindberg, who came to the AHL this year with 178 games of experience in Sweden’s top league over four seasons certainly did not wilt under the responsibility of that assignment. He displayed a strong and consistent work ethic, and showed flashes of explosiveness offensively, scoring seven goals and adding ten assists for 17 points in the season’s first 35 games.

Since mid-January, however, when the Ranger organization acquired veteran center T.J. Hensick off of AHL waivers and top-drawer prospect J.T. Miller, also a centerman, returned from a stint in the NHL, Lindberg’s offensive production has taken off. Starting January 12, Lindberg reeled off a run in which he had at least a point in eight out of ten games, totaling six goals and seven assists for 13 points, including a five-game point-scoring streak that featured five goals and nine points.

According to Wolf Pack head coach Ken Gernander, the Wolf Pack’s newfound depth in the middle was a key to Lindberg’s unlocking his offensive potential.

“It’s a pretty important position, and for a large part of the season he was our really only one bona fide center,” Gernander said this week. “And now that we have three, you can spread the workload around a little bit, it doesn’t enable the opposition to check his line on such a regular basis. And with a couple of extra players, we now have a full complement of lines we’re comfortable with, and everybody can kind of complement one another.”

“I think we’ve got four good centers,” Lindberg said, “but two top guys who can produce take a little pressure from me. It’s nice to get some guys to produce, not just have the pressure on me to do it.”

Being able to get into a rhythm with a steady set of linemates is something that Lindberg identified as making life easier for him.

“I think we play with more consistency with the lines, having the same lines for a couple of weeks,” he said. “And I feel more and more comfortable too. It’s just been happening, and I’m trying not to think about it too much.”

Lindberg’s improved offensive stats have largely coincided with his being put on a line with veteran banger Micheal Haley as his left-winger. Kyle Beach occupied the right side on that line for several games, giving Lindberg a strong physical presence on both wings, and Danny Kristo slid into that spot in the Wolf Pack’s last game. That was a 4-1 home win over Adirondack on Tuesday, in which the Haley-Lindberg-Kristo created two first-period goals.

“I think he’s intuitive enough to read off them,” Gernander said of Lindberg and his recent linemates. “They create turnovers, can make space for him to make plays in behind them, those types of things. And it just seems to complement his game.

“Danny’s an offensive player, and Lindberg’s a little bit of each (offensive and defensive), but if he can get some guys who think along the same lines, and he can maybe play some give-and-go hockey with, it should help his overall game.”

For Lindberg’s part, it’s not so much whom he is on the ice with, but rather being together long enough to get used to each other.

“I think as long as we keep the lines and not change too much, it’s easy to find chemistry,” he said. “It doesn’t matter who you play with, as long as you’ve got some consistency. And I think I’ve been doing that lately, and we’ve been getting a lot of wins too, so that’s been nice.

“Haley, he’s an aggressive guy who wins a lot of battles in the corners, and now playing with Kristo, he’s a playmaker. So I think we complete each other in a good way.”

Lindberg enters the weekend only one point behind Kristo for the team leadership in points, with Lindberg having 13-17-30 in 45 games and Kristo 17-14-31 in 42 outings. Clearly Lindberg’s confidence is on a high, and it seems likely that the tougher times earlier in the year made him grow and mature as a player.

“I think the experience was good for him,” Gernander said. “I think he now has a good understanding of how competitive the American Hockey League is, how hard you’re going to have to work to create your offense and to get your opportunities. It was a little bit of trial by fire for him, but I think the overall experience will help expedite his career.”

It may be, too, that the full adjustment from the bigger rinks of European hockey, and the different style of play in Sweden, took half of an AHL season to complete.

“The ice surface is a lot different,” Lindberg said. “It’s more stop-and-start (in North America), not just swinging around, and not a lot of dumping (the puck) and stuff like that. But I’m learning, and I think it’s been better the last couple of weeks, for sure.”

That better stretch for Lindberg has mirrored the Wolf Pack’s improvement as a team, and it is quite likely that the young Swede’s play will be a key indicator of how far the Pack can climb before the AHL season draws to a close.
