Chicago Wolves lose in overtime to Grand Rapids

The Chicago Wolves took the ice for a key Central Division showdown against the Grand Rapids Griffins on Saturday night in Michigan. Domenick Fensore and Joel Nystrom scored to secure the Wolves a point in the standings, but in the end, Grand Rapids rallied to skate to a 3-2 overtime victory. Sheldon Dries notched the winner for the Griffins.

The Wolves seized a two-goal lead when Fensore and Nystrom struck 48 seconds apart midway through the opening period.

First, riding the momentum of killing a penalty, Fensore carried the puck into the offensive zone and sent a sharp-angle shot from the bottom of the left circle that trickled through the pads of Griffins netminder Sebastian Cossa. Cal Foote had the lone assist on Fensore’s 10th goal of the season.
