| Game Overview |
Tonight, the Rochester Americans face the Hartford Wolf Pack for the first of two meetings this season, with Hartford visiting Rochester’s Blue Cross Arena for their only appearance.

Key players like Jiri Kulich and Isak Rosen bring momentum for Rochester, while Hartford, yet to win on the road, relies on Brett Berard and Benoit-Olivier Groulx to turn their away-game fortunes. Adding intrigue, former Amerks Casey Fitzgerald and Chad Ruhwedel return with the Wolf Pack, making tonight’s game one to watch.
