By pretty much all measures, 2025-26 was a substantial failure for the Hartford Wolf Pack. The top New York Rangers affiliate finished last in the AHL with a record of 26-38-5-3, 60 points, and had an unsightly minus-63 goal differential along the way.
Winners in five of their past seven games (5-2-0-0), the Hartford Wolf Pack are surging at the right time. Initially six points out of a playoff spot on Wednesday, following a 3-2 loss to Providence, Hartford regrouped with back-to-back wins on Friday and Saturday, closing the gap to four points.
