The Tigers will hit the road on Wednesday for their league opener at Spaulding at 7:30 p.m.
On this past Saturday, the Tigers earned a 36-16 edged in shots on goal, but Hurricane goalie Richie Morrill stopped everything except an Erik Sherman third-period bid that created the final score.
Ben Rouillard scored once and set up a Jacob Derosier goal for Hartford. Tiger goalie Doug DeLorenzo made 14 saves.
