HARTFORD, July 10, 2019:  Spectra, operators of the XL Center and Hartford Wolf Pack, today announced the Wolf Pack’s game schedule for the 2019-20 American Hockey League season.

The Wolf Pack open their 76-game docket Saturday, October 5 with their XL Center home opener, a 7:00 PM battle with the defending Calder Cup-champion Charlotte Checkers.

That is the first of 14 Saturday-night dates on the Wolf Pack’s home schedule, and 12 home games will be on Friday nights.  The Wolf Pack will play three Sundays, and just one Tuesday, at home, and the remaining eight home games will be on Wednesdays.

One of those Wednesday dates, November 20 vs. the Syracuse Crunch, will feature the Wolf Pack’s sixth annual “Sonar’s Edu-skate” school-day home game, with faceoff at 11:00 AM.  All Friday-night home games will start at 7:15 PM and the rest of the non-Sunday home tilts will start at 7:00 PM, with the exception of New Year’s Eve, Tuesday, December 31, which is a 5:00 PM start.  All Sunday home games will be 3:00 PM faceoffs.

The Wolf Pack’s most familiar foe on their 2019-20 schedule will be their in-state rivals the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, whom they will battle 12 times (six home, six away).  Other New England adversaries the Providence Bruins and Springfield Thunderbirds are on the Wolf Pack’s schedule ten times each (five home, five away), and the Wolf Pack will battle the Checkers eight times (four home, four away).  The rest of Hartford’s Atlantic Division brethren, the Hershey Bears, Lehigh Valley Phantoms and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, will see the Wolf Pack six times each (three home, three away).

In action against the North Division, the Wolf Pack will have four games each (two home, two away), vs. the Binghamton Devils, Laval Rocket and Utica Comets, and will square off against the Belleville Senators, Rochester Americans and Syracuse Crunch twice each (one home, one away).
