Wolves Fall in 4 Games
The Sudbury Wolves saw their 2012-13 Ontario Hockey League season come to a halt on Thursday night as the Belleville Bulls defeated the Wolves by a score of 5-0 to clinch the best of seven series 4-0.
The visitors would get on the scoreboard first at the 11:45 minute mark of the frame when DANIIL ZHARKOV fired one past Wolves goaltender FRANKY PALAZZESE. AUSTEN BRASSARD would add to the Bulls lead less than four minutes later when he put one upstairs past PALAZZESE to give the Bulls a 2-0 lead heading into the break. Despite trailing 2-0 the Wolves held the edge in shots in the first period by a 9-6 margin.
The second period would remain scoreless until the 16:36 minute mark of the frame when DANIIL ZHARKOV finished off a beautiful passing play with TYLER GRAOVAC to give the Bulls a 3-0 lead heading into the second intermission. The Bulls would outshoot the Wolves in the second frame by a 12-11 margin.
The Bulls would extend their lead to 4-0 3:15 into the third frame when TYLER GRAOVAC put one past PALAZZESE for his second goal of the evening. AARON BERISHA would all but seal the deal for the Bulls 19 seconds later as he scored to give the Bulls a commanding 5-0 lead. The Bulls would outshoot the Wolves by a 12- 7 margin in the period
The Sudbury Wolves would like to thank our great fans for all their support during the 2012-2013 regular season and playoffs! We hope you all have a great summer and look forward to seeing you back at the rink next year for another season of action packed Sudbury Wolves hockey!
