Wolves lose second straight game

The Chicago Wolves took the ice against the Milwaukee Admirals on Wednesday night at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena, the first of 12 showdowns between the Central Division rivals this season.

Gavin Bayreuther scored for the Wolves, but it wasn’t enough as the Admirals skated to a 4-1 victory. It marked Chicago’s second consecutive loss after opening the 2025-26 American Hockey League season with a four-game points streak.

Milwaukee struck first when Ryan Ufko found the back of the net midway through the opening period and took a two-goal advantage early in the second on a tally by Zach L’Heureux. Late in the middle period, Joakim Kemell’s power-play goal put the Admirals in front 3-0.

Bayreuther trimmed the Wolves’ deficit to 3-1 in the early moments of the third period. On a Chicago rush into the offensive zone, the defenseman took a feed from Felix Unger Sorum and snapped a shot from between the circles that beat Milwaukee netminder Matthew Murray to the stick side. Unger Sorum’s assist extended his points streak to six games while Justin Robidas also recorded a helper on the score.

The Admirals put the game away later in the third with another power-play goal, this one from Oasiz Wiesblatt.
