Wolves’ rallies net a point despite high-scoring OT loss

The Chicago Wolves twice rallied from four-goal deficits to extend their points streak to six games despite a thrilling 7-6 overtime loss to the Monsters on Thursday night in Cleveland.

Bradly Nadeau had two goals and an assist, Justin Robidas a goal and three assists, Josiah Slavin a goal and a helper and Evan Vierling and Cal Foote also scored, but the Wolves had to settle for a split of the back-to-back games against the Monsters. Felix Unger Sorum and Ryan Suzuki each chipped in three assists as the Wolves ran their road points streak to 12 contests.

After the Monsters raced to a 2-0 lead within the first 3 minutes, 28 seconds of the opening period on scores by Owen Sillinger and Corson Ceulemans, the Wolves didn’t take long to answer.

Vierling cut Chicago’s deficit in half at the 4:59 mark with his 11th goal of the season. The forward pounced on a rebound of an Unger Sorum shot and sent the puck past Monsters netminder Ivan Fedotov from a sharp angle. Unger Sorum and Suzuki recorded assists. The helper extended Suzuki’s points streak to seven contests.
