The Hartford Wolf Pack's next game, Friday against the Manchester Monarchs, will be their seventh with Sean Avery, unless his off-Broadway stint is over by then.

Hartford is in second place in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the AHL. In 59 games, they have 31 wins, 23 losses, two overtime losses, and three shootout losses, for 67 points. They are on a four game winning streak—their best string this season so far.

Manchester is in sixth place in the same division.In 58 games, they have 27 wins and 26 losses, 0 overtime losses, and five shootout losses.
   
The Wolf Pack Thumped the Penguins, 5-1, in their last game, and are undefeated in their past four games. Avery had a goal in the last game, assisted on the game-winning goal in overtime in the previous game, and has just one penalty in six games with Hartford.

The Manchester Monarchs dropped a 3-2 decision to the Hartford Wolf Pack with six seconds left in the game in front of 5,137 fans at the Verizon Wireless Arena on Sunday evening. The Wolf Pack’s late attack squashed the Monarchs comeback.

The Manchester Monarchs, the primary affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings, hosted “Rock The Mullet Night” recently.

Mullet Night and the celebration of hockey hair sprung onto the scene in 2003 when the Monarchs honored the “business in the front, party in the back” hairstyle that was made popular by both professional athletes and entertainers. 

In recognition of the history of the mullet through the years and following last season’s “Mullet Night—Redneck Edition”, the Monarchs are honoring the hair bands of the 80s for keeping hockey hair cool for all these years. 

It’s the hair bands of Cinderella, White Snake, Motley Crue, Poison and Guns N’ Roses that waved their locks to the flow of the jam and kept the “cool” of this renowned hairdo, according to the Monarch's website.
