Hartford returns home from a two week trip that featured four games away from the XL Center. Four of their next five games will be at home, which would be great if the team was in the hunt for a playoff spot. There are eight games remaining. Hartford is close to becoming “mathematically eliminated” from playoff contention. As we approach another week of action, the Pack will face another challenging match up against the league leading Charlotte Checkers followed by a visit from the Belleville Senators.
Hartford enters the week in sole possession of eighth place in the Atlantic Division as the group’s record is 28-31-6-3 for 65 points.
