The American Hockey League released the 2018-19 season schedule last week, and for Hartford, beating their rivals will be critical in the upcoming season if they want to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot, or perhaps break their three-year drought of missing post-season action. I already marked a few big games throughout the season that Hartford must win. Otherwise, the “what ifs” will return from last season. What if they won a certain game? What if they notched at least a point in a specific contest? I feel confident that the young, talented Hartford club is capable of breaking the drought.
