HARTFORD, CT – The Connecticut Whale dug themselves a three-goal deficit and then rallied back to send the game to overtime and eventually a shootout, but Matt Anderson’s second goal of the game clinched a 4-3 win for the Albany Devils Tuesday night at the XL Center in front of 1,887.

Anderson scored the second shootout goal beating Cam Talbot (15-19-1, 25 saves) with a forehand shot off the post completing a three point night (1g, 3a). The Devils outscored the Whale 2-0 in the skills contest that decides hockey games. Anderson’s tally and former Hartford Wolf Pack forward, Chad Wiseman were enough to decide it as the Whale sent Brandon Mashinter, newcomer Nick Palmieri, Kris Newbury and Brandon Segal and all four failed to beat Keith Kincaid, (15-9-4, 20 saves) on any of their chances.

The Whale (20-21-4-1, 45 pts.) came out of the All-Star break with an overtime loss and a regulation loss in two home games last week.  Connecticut had a three-game overall winning streak, and a five-game home winning run, ended Friday, as they suffered a 5-4 overtime defeat to Bridgeport.  Then on Saturday, in front of a crowd of 13,239, the second-largest XL Center attendance in franchise history, a Whale comeback fell just short in a 3-2 loss against Springfield.  J.T. Miller had one of the Whale’s two third-period goals in Saturday’s game, and registered a pair of assists on Friday. Continue reading →

Last week started well for the Whale (10-11-2-0, 22 points), with a 4-2 home win over Bridgeport on Wednesday night, but then finished with two losses.  The Manchester Monarchs handed the Whale a 9-2 road defeat on Saturday night, and Connecticut was then shut out at home Sunday by the Albany Devils, 1-0.  J.T. Miller had the first multiple-point game of his pro career in Wednesday’s victory with two goals, including the game-winner, and Kelsey Tessier scored both Friday and Saturday, after going his first 16 games without a goal.

BY: Gerry Cantlon – Special to Howlings

HARTFORD, CT – The Albany Devils lone goal in the second period was the difference as the Devils knocked off the Connecticut Whale 1-0 before a crowd of 2,692 at XL Center Sunday afternoon.

Albany had the far better quality chances in the second period and finally broke the scoreless deadlock when Joe Whitney burst down the right wing and fired a hard wrist shot 20 feet out that beat the Whale’s starting netminder, Cam Talbot (26 saves, 8-8-1) cleanly over the blocker at 6:48.

The Whale (9-9-2-0, 20 pts.) were 0-2-1-0 in three games this past week.  In Friday night’s visit to Providence, Connecticut was up 1-0 and 2-1, but the Bruins scored the final three goals of the game to ice a 4-2 win.  The Whale then had a 3-0 in the third period at home Saturday night against Eastern Conference co-leading Syracuse, only to see the Crunch storm back for a 4-3 overtime victory.  Sunday saw the Springfield Falcons come into the XL Center and shut the Whale out, 5-0.  Chad Kolarik Friday had his second multiple-goal game in three games, scoring twice, and also chipped in an assist in Saturday’s contest.

WOLSKI AND WOYWITKA TO HARTFORD

Posted on February 2, 2012 | 3 Comments

New York RLeft wing Wojtek Wolski and defenseman Jeff Woywitka have accepted two-week conditioning assignments to join the Connecticut Whale according to reports throughout the New York media.

Both players are likely going to see a lot of ice time with the Whale as the Rangers will want them to get in game shape and at the same time showcase the two in an attempt to move both elsewhere. It’s become quite obvious that with the team playing as well as they are that with the team getting healthy again that neither player has a place in the team’s plans.
