Chicago Wolves fall in final visit of regular season to Rockford

The Chicago Wolves made their final regular-season visit to Rockford on Friday night and fell to the IceHogs 4-1 at BMO Center.

Ryan Suzuki scored but the rest of the offense was stifled as the Wolves dropped their fourth game in a row. Rockford snapped a two-game losing skid in the 10th meeting of the season between the Central Division rivals.

The IceHogs found the scoreboard first on Martin Misiak’s goal 6 minutes, 40 seconds into the opening period.

With time winding down in the first, the Wolves were awarded a power play and Suzuki cashed in with his 11th tally of the season. The veteran forward camped out alongside the right post and redirected a pass from Bradly Nadeau past Rockford netminder Drew Commesso. Suzuki’s goal with 18 seconds remaining in the period was assisted by Nadeau and Juuso Valimaki.
