                  The Little Flyers take their 3 game win streak on the road to face off against the Hartford Jr. Wolfpack.  The Wolfpack sport a 4-6 record coming into this game, and look to their leading scorer Dylan Vander Esch to put them on the board.  Puck dropped at 8:40pm EST.

                  The first period was eventful for the Little Flyers as they put 12 shots on opposing netminder Spencer Landry.  Landry, coming into this game with a 2.83 GAA, stopped all attempts, and kept the Little Flyers off the score sheet in the first period.  Alec Derks was less busy but did the same at the other end. 

                  Only one goal was scored in the second period as Jude Warner put the Little Flyers up 1-0 at 19:56, with help for Cole Anderson and Oleg Potemkin.  The rest of the game remained scoreless, but showcased two strong point of the Little Flyers.

                  The Wolfpack, brought a 15.8% success rate on the powerplay coming into this game and were given 7 opportunities, with the man advantage, but capitalized on none of them.  The Little Flyers remain first in the league in terms of penalty kill percentage, bringing us to our next highlight of this game, TJ Black.  TJ has been stellar early this season, and this game was no exception as he faced 37 shots, 19 in the third period alone, and stopped every one. 

                  The Little Flyers improve to 7-4-1 on the season, as the Wolfpack fall to 4-7.
