Trey Fix-Wolansky's Four-Point Night Propels Wolf Pack to 6-0 Win

Trey Fix-Wolansky recorded two goals and two assists as the Hartford Wolf Pack rolled to a 6-0 win over the Bridgeport Islanders at PeoplesBank Arena in the Battle of Connecticut. Hartford's depth finishers and two power-play strikes stretched the lead before a third-period power-play goal sealed the shutout.

Hartford opened the scoring just over two minutes into the game when, in the club’s telling, “a Connor Mackey point shot went wide and hit the end boards. The puck bounced to the left-wing side, where Fix‑Wolansky settled and quickly released a shot. The bid beat the blocker of Marcus Hogberg at 2:12, making it 1-0.” One source listed the opening goal at 2:13, but the team release uses 2:12. The Wolf Pack also flagged the marker as Fix‑Wolansky’s 20th of the season, a milestone celebrated on social media with the post, “That’s 2️⃣0️⃣ for Trey Fix‑Wolansky 🚨.”

Anton Blidh extended Hartford’s margin when, at 8:22, he pounced on a rebound off a Cooper Moore point shot, batting the puck out of the air to make it 3-0, a tally Hartford identified as Blidh’s sixth of the season. Later in the second period Hartford converted on its second power play of the night when, “On the club’s second power play of the game, Brett Berard sent a cross-ice feed to Fix‑Wolansky in the left-wing circle. He uncorked a one-timer that beat Hogberg for his 21st goal of the season.”

Brendan Brisson finished with a two-goal night, both tap-ins that came in quick succession late in the middle period. Hartford described the first as, “A pretty passing play at 15:10 made it 4-0. Fix‑Wolansky fed Adam Sýkora on the right-wing side, who quickly tossed it across to the left-wing for Brendan Brisson. Brisson had a tap-in at the backdoor for his 14th goal of the season.” That sequence was followed 2:21 later, at 17:31, when “This time, it was Casey Fitzgerald who set up Brisson from the right-wing circle, allowing Brisson another tap-in for his 15th goal of the campaign.” Hartford credited Fix‑Wolansky with a secondary assist on the 17:31 goal and noted, “With a secondary assist on the goal, Fix‑Wolansky became the first Wolf Pack player to record four points (2 g, 2 a) in a game this season.” Blueshirt Banter further labeled Brisson a 2026 AHL All-Star and noted, “The goals were Brisson's 14th and 15th of the season, respectively, while Fix‑Wolansky recorded his first four-point game as a member of the Wolf Pack. Hartford took the 5-0 lead into the second intermission.”

Hartford capped the scoring in the third period when Casey Fitzgerald blasted home a five-on-three power-play shot from the left-wing point at 7:35, a play Hartford called, “Fitzgerald capped off the scoring at 7:35 of the third period, blasting home a five-on-three power play goal from the left-wing point. The goal was the captain’s third of the season.” The sequence made the final 6-0.

Temperatures flared late. Blueshirt Banter reported that “With Bridgeport trailing 5-0 after 40 minutes of action, their frustrations boiled over. The rivals engaged in a massive scrum just over the five‑minute mark of the third period.” The intensity on social feeds matched the description; a post embedded in coverage shouted, “THEY DON’T CALL IT THE BATTLE OF CONNECTICUT FOR NOTHIN! Stay tuned, plenty of penalties coming.#BRIvsHFD | #NYR.”

Hartford’s dominant outing featured a milestone for Fix‑Wolansky and secondary contributions from Brisson, Blidh, Fitzgerald, Berard and Sýkora. Blueshirt Banter added a longer franchise note: “There has been at least one 20‑goal scorer in every one of the Wolf Pack's AHL seasons, dating back to their inaugural campaign in 1997-98.” The Wolf Pack return from a 6-0 victory that combined early offense, effective power-play execution and a four-point night from Fix‑Wolansky as they move deeper into March.
