Hartford wins! 4-1. Other goals by Karl Henriksson and another goal by Johnny Brodzinski (EN).
I can see that though 1) it took DeBrusk several years to get to where he is now and I could see the same happening with Cuylle and 2) Cuylle plays with a bit more bite to his game. He's dropped the gloves 7 times this year and DeBrusk is not really a guy that does that much at all. He might have 7 in the last 10 years.Will Cuylle reminds me of Jake DeBrusk.
Hartford leading Bridgeport 2-1 halfway through the game. Goals by Brodzinski and Leschyshyn.
True:.Was making the comparison about his skating style and how they both drive the net.I can see that though 1) it took DeBrusk several years to get to where he is now and I could see the same happening with Cuylle and 2) Cuylle plays with a bit more bite to his game. He's dropped the gloves 7 times this year and DeBrusk is not really a guy that does that much at all. He might have 7 in the last 10 years.
Just before the Pack scored the second goal on the PP Cuylle made a great toe drag and almost had a great goal. Schneider was able to get a glove on the goal.I can see that though 1) it took DeBrusk several years to get to where he is now and I could see the same happening with Cuylle and 2) Cuylle plays with a bit more bite to his game.

Game Clips:Pack win 4-1.
In the second Brodzinski steals the puck at center ice and breaks in 2-1 with Cuylle. The defenseman goes down to take away the pass and Brodzinski shoots high over Schneider for the goal.
Later with the Pack on the PP Pajuniemi brings the puck into the zone and finds Leschyschen coming down the left wing and he shoots over Schneider from a difficult angle. In his prime I think Schneider stops both of those shots.
Towards the end of the period Scanlin takes a snapshot from the blue line that hits an Islander and goes in. The goal originally goes to Scanlin but was changed to Henriksson who was unchecked in front and must have deflected the puck in.
Brodzinski with an empty netter to seal the game. Islanders have 16 shots in the third but can't beat Domingue.
Stars are: 1. Pajuniemi, 2. Scanlin, 3. Domingue.
Pack now up by one over Bridgeport although Bridgeport has a game in hand. Pack have Providence Friday and Lehigh Valley Saturday. Bridgeport has Providence Saturday and Lehigh Valley on Sunday. Lehigh Valley up 3 over the Pack with a game in hand.
Just before the Pack scored the second goal on the PP Cuylle made a great toe drag and almost had a great goal. Schneider was able to get a glove on the goal.
I'm sure it will be on the highlights and it's very impressive.
Citizens of Hartford, lock your doors and ready your evacuation plans. The Widowmaker is on his way to your town.Dude is a menace out there. I think he will transition well to the smaller rink.
Man, the Pack have so many players. What are they going to do with everyone? Geez.
getting the vibe berard has been fairly invisible so far?
and looks like the ato's haven't gotten into the lineup yet either....thats no fun
He’s also playing on 4th line with no PP or PK time so limited minutes.It's actually typical for a guy coming out of college to the AHL towards season's end to struggle to put up points. Almost everyone in the AHL can skate and check like maniacs. It's not an easy league to play in.
Only 6 games left and team in full playoff mode. Maybe one ATO guy gets in on the fourth line (Trivigno and Berard are alternating) but it's clear priority is making the playin game, not developing the kids.Hoping that we see some of the ATO guys in the next few games. Out of all of them, would benefit Edstrom the most as he's the oldest and strongest.
