Sharks fall 4-3 in Hartford to break three game wining streak.
Worcester, MA – T.J. Trevelyan scored his 4th and 5th goals of the season but PA Parenteau and Evgeny Grachev each tallied twice for Hartford as the Sharks fell 4-3 to the Wolf Pack at the XL Center on Sunday afternoon.
For the 7th time in eight games, the Sharks struck first to take a 1-0 lead. T.J. Trevelyan scored his 4th goal of the season as he scooped up a loose puck and sent it over the shoulder of goaltender Miika Wiikman from in tight on the power play at 6:49. 19-year-old rookie Evgeny Grachev scored back-to-back goals to give the Wolf Pack a 2-1 lead through twenty minutes of play. The Sharks were outshot 13-10 through the first period.
Neither team would find the back of the net in the middle period as Worcester outshot the Wolf Pack 14-7 in the 2nd. The Sharks had an early 5-on-3 power play chance but were not able to convert. Miika Wiikman and Tyson Sexsmith each made several key saves to keep the score 2-1 Hartford after forty minutes of play.
Each team would tally two goals in the third period, the first of which came off the stick of Sharks killer PA Parenteau at 1:45 on the power play. Andrew Desjardins would get the goal right back after a nice feed from Dan DaSilva in the right corner at 4:04. Desjardins was set up in front of the net and blisted a wrist shot top shelve to cut the score to 3-2. PA Parenteau scored again, this time on the power play after his shot from the left circle found the back of the net at 14:09. But the Sharks did not give up and Trevelyan scored his second of the game at 16:30 after a scramble on top of the crease to cut the lead to 4-3. The Sharks pulled their goaltender late but the Wolf Pack held their ground for the 4-3 victory.
