Tokarski posts 42 saves, quiets Sound Tigers

Dustin Tokarski made 42 saves, including 22 in the third period, Saturday night at the XL Center, as the Hartford Wolf Pack beat the Bridgeport Sound Tigers 3-1 in the second half of a home-and-home between the two teams.

The win gave the Wolf Pack a sweep of the twogame set, as Hartford had defeated the Sound Tigers on Friday night in Bridge- port, 3-2 in a shootout.

John Gilmour, Peter Holland and Shawn St. Amant scored goals for the Wolf Pack on Saturday, and Vinni Lettieri had two assists.

Michael Dal Colle scored the only Bridgeport goal, and Jeremy Smith made 27 saves.

“I liked our start,” Wolf Pack coach Keith McCambridge said. “Our identity has been taking shape the last couple of games, getting scoring chances, good de- fense and goaltending. You want that to happen around the 20-game mark, and I feel it's been happening for us.”

After a scoreless first period, the second frame was penalty-filled, and the Wolf Pack finally opened the scoring on the third of three consecutive power plays awarded to Hartford.

With Devon Toews in the penalty box for slashing, Gilmour put the Wolf Pack in front at 9:05.
