The Flames played host to the mighty Wachusett Wolfpack at JFK Coliseum on Saturday morning. The Wolfpack played like a pack of wolves, using strength in numbers and working together to get the job done. Manchester lost 9-1 to the 1st place Wolfpack. Wachusett improved to 17-0 in league play, while allowing just their 15th goal of the season in the win. The Flames dropped to 8-8 in league play.
I took a few pictures during the game and in the pictures you may notice that Wachusett has equal of greater numbers than their opponent in almost every shot.
There are plenty of Flames in the picture, but still a wide open scoring chance for the Wolfpack.
This is one of very few scoring chances that the Flames could generate against a stingy defense.
