Chicago Wolves lose last road game of regular season in shootout

In their final road game of the 2025-26 American Hockey League regular season, the Chicago Wolves fell to the Admirals 4-3 in a shootout Saturday night in Milwaukee.

Noah Philp, Nikita Pavlychev and Noel Gunler scored, but the Wolves couldn’t hold a three-goal lead and settled for one point in the finale of the five-game trip. With the shootout defeat, Chicago finished the trip 2-2-0-1 and extended its lead over the Texas Stars to four points for second place in the Central Division with four games remaining.

The Wolves seized the lead midway through the third on Philp’s sixth goal of the season — and third in the last two games. The veteran forward took a feed from Cal Foote in the right circle and blasted a one-timer past Milwaukee netminder Matt Murray to the glove side. Foote and Felix Unger Sorum recorded assists on Philp’s tally. The helper extended Unger Sorum’s points streak to eight games.
