ROCKFORD -- The Chicago Wolves climbed out an early hole but were victimized by 3 straight goals and never regained the lead as the Rockford IceHogs prevailed 5-4 on Friday night at the Rockford MetroCentre.

Wolves defenseman Nathan Oystrick matched a career-high with 3 points (goal, 2 assists), and center Jason Krog, the AHL's leading scorer, had 2 goals to extend his point streak to 11 games, but it wasn't enough.

Down 2-0 just under six minutes into the contest, the Wovles (24-9-1-0) reeled off 3 straight goals, the last with 61 seconds remaining in the first period when Krog netted his first of the night.

Rockford (22-8-3-5) tied it up at 3-3 at 5:45 of the second.

The IceHogs opened the third period by pulling ahead 4-3 just 97 seconds in. The eventual winner then came at 14:09 of the third.

Krog brought the Wolves back within 5-4 at 15:45.
