Thunderbirds will miss the postseason following loss in season finale to Wolf Pack

Multi-point performances from Brennan Othmann and Mac Hollowell lifted the Hartford Wolf Pack (34-27-7-3) to a 6-4 victory, ending the Springfield Thunderbirds (30-37-3-2) season, shutting down the MassMutual center's power banks for the summer. In addition, Saturday was the Thunderbirds' 14th consecutive and 20th sellout of the season. “This year was extreme, to say the least,“ Thunderbirds' interim coach Dan Tkaczuk said. Tkaczuk also noted that some significant factors which could have contributed to the T-Birds missing the postseason.
