Beaudoin reaches five points as Wolf Pack sweep opening weekend

Cole Beaudoin finished his first AHL weekend with five points as the Hartford Wolf Pack won the first two games of their opening road trip. After recording a goal and two assists in Saturday's 5-2 win at Lehigh Valley, he added two assists in Sunday's 3-2 victory at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Beaudoin set up Marc Del Gaizo's power-play goal at 1:14 of the second period on Sunday, tying the game 1-1. He then found Taylor Raddysh in the slot for the go-ahead goal at 14:44 of the period.

Nathan Aspinall scored his first AHL goal on a power play at 17:23 of the third period. That became the winner after Avery Hayes brought the Penguins within one at 18:46. Callum Tung made 38 saves for Hartford.

The Wolf Pack had opened their season on Saturday, Oct. 3, by recovering from a 2-1 deficit against the Phantoms. Raddysh scored from Beaudoin's pass in the first period, and Juuso Pärssinen tied the game on a second-period power play before setting up Lucas Vanroboys for the winning goal in the third.

Beaudoin scored his first AHL goal at 8:23 of the third period against Lehigh Valley, and Vincent Iorio added an empty-net goal. Gabriel Carriere made 27 saves in that win.

Hartford visits Providence on Friday, Oct. 9, before hosting Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in its Oct. 10 home opener.
