Philp scores twice in Wolves win against Grand Rapids

The Chicago Wolves wrapped up their season series with the Grand Rapids Griffins on Friday night in Michigan.

Noah Philp scored twice, Felix Unger Sorum had a goal and an assist and Ryan Suzuki also tallied to propel the Wolves to a 4-1 victory over their Central Division rivals. Ronan Seeley chipped in two assists to help Chicago finish the season series over the Western Conference-leading Griffins with a 4-2-2-2 record.

After Grand Rapids jumped to a lead early in the opening period on a power-play score by Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, the Wolves reeled off four consecutive goals to rally for the win.

While killing a penalty later in the first, Philp scooped up the puck in the neutral zone, deked around a Griffins defender and ripped a shot from between the circles that beat Grand Rapids netminder Trey Augustine to the stick side. Unger Sorum and Seeley picked up assists on Philp’s short-handed tally. The helper extended Unger Sorum’s points streak to seven games.
