Aeros beat Wolves in shootout

The Chicago Wolves and Houston Aeros traded goals for three periods, but the Aeros emerged with a 4-3 shootout victory Friday night at the Allstate Arena.

Nigel Dawes, Andre Deveaux and Jason Krog provided the Wolves’ goals, while goaltender Peter Mannino (12-10-2) stopped 27 of 30 shots in regulation and overtime. Mannino thwarted four of Houston’s 5 shootout attempts, but no Wolves were able to convert on their shootout tries.

“We look like a team that’s played four games in five nights,” said Wolves coach Don Lever. “We were sloppy in the second period, but otherwise we fought back and kept ourselves in it.”
