HARTFORD, Conn. — The Springfield Thunderbirds (8-8-1-0) got a leading performance from their captain en route to a 4-2 victory over the Hartford Wolf Pack (8-6-1-1) on Saturday night at the XL Center.
For a third straight game, the T-Birds had the first entry onto the scoresheet. After killing off the first Hartford power play of the night, Springfield went to the offense, and Tyler Tucker made a perfect diagonal pass to Matthew Peca in the right circle, where the captain had a vacant net to deposit his sixth goal of the season behind Wolf Pack goalie Dylan Garand.
