The Checkers extended their run of banking standings points at home, but they couldn’t quite pull off the weekend sweep of Hartford, falling 4-3 in overtime.
Finding themselves trailing by a goal in the third period, Alexander True came through for the Checkers with a quick shot that found the back of the net and forced the contest in overtime.
The extra frame didn’t last long, however, as the Wolf Pack controlled the action and knocked in the game winner 21 seconds in to claim the victory.
The first period saw the majority of the offensive action, as Luke Henman sniped one home just 35 seconds after Hartford opened the scoring to draw the game tied just 2:20 into regulation. Zac Dalpe – skating in his 600th pro game – marked the occasion with a tally of his own on a power play later in the frame, but back-to-back strikes from the Wolf Pack gave the visitors the upper hand until True’s goal in the third.
