Chicago Wolves win third straight game
The Chicago Wolves extended their winning streak to three games with a 4-2 victory over the Admirals on Saturday night in Milwaukee.
Domenick Fensore had a goal and two assists while Bradly Nadeau, Ivan Ryabkin and Justin Robidas each scored to help the Wolves hand the Admirals their fifth loss in a row.
It was their first game under interim coach Spiros Anastas, who replaced Cam Abbott, fired Friday by the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Wolves seized the lead midway through the opening period when Nadeau potted his ninth goal of the season. The winger crashed the net and redirected a shot from the top of the left circle by Ryan Suzuki past Milwaukee netminder Magnus Chrona to the glove side to extend Nadeau’s goals streak to three contests. Suzuki and Fensore had assists on the tally.
The Admirals answered a short time later on a power-play goal by David Edstrom, but the Wolves wasted little time to again take the lead.
Just 15 seconds after Edstrom’s score, Fensore worked the puck to the side of the Admirals' goal where Ryabkin swooped in and knocked it into the net for his first professional goal and a 2-1 Wolves lead. Fensore and Noel Gunler earned assists.
The Wolves host the Grand Rapids Griffins at 3 p.m. Sunday at Allstate Arena.
