The Hartford Wolf Pack unveiled its regular-season roster for the 2024-25 season and it includes the team’s top three scorers from last year’s playoff team as well as the goalie tandem that posted a combined goals-against average of under 3.00.
Leading the Hartford offense will be forwards Alex Belzile, who had a team-high 50 points in 2023-24 with 19 goals and 31 assists. He’ll be joined by Brennan Othmann (21-28–49) and Brett Berard (25-23–48). Berard, a Providence native, burst on the scene as a rookie last season and led the team with 25 goals in 71 games.
Louis Domingue, a 32-year-old veteran, returns as the team’s primary goaltender but he’ll share plenty of time with Dylan Garand. Domingue, who has seen action in 143 NHL games, posted a 16-8-4 record in 2023-24 with a 2.66 GAA. Garand, meanwhile, was 16-17-5 with a 3.03 GAA, giving the team a combined average of 2.99.
The roster includes 24 players: 15 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders.
Hartford, the AHL affiliate of the New York Rangers, reached the Atlantic Division finals last season with series wins against Charlotte and Providence before falling to Hershey in the division finals. The Wolf Pack, under new coach Grant Potulny, open the new season on Saturday night at Lehigh Valley. The home opener is Friday at 7 p.m. at the XL Center against the Springfield Thunderbirds.
Prior to the full roster being announced, defensemen Case McCarthy and Carter Berger were loaned to the Rangers’ ECHL affiliate, the Bloomington Bison.
The complete roster:
Forwards: Alex Belzile, Brett Berard, Anton Blidh, Jaroslav Chmelař, Adam Erne, Bo Groulx, Ryder Korczak, Jake Leschyshyn, Bryce McConnell-Barker, Blake McLaughlin, Brennan Othmann, Dylan Roobroeck, Nate Sucese, and Adam Sýkora
Defensemen: Casey Fitzgerald, Ben Harpur, Blake Hillman, Connor Mackey, Matthew Robertson, Brandon Scanlin, and Ryan Siedem
Goaltenders: Louis Domingue and Dylan Garand
