Special to the Daily Herald

Right wing Darren Haydar became the 22nd player in American Hockey League history to record 700 career points, helping the Chicago Wolves snap a five-game winless streak with a 4-2 Amtrak Rivalry victory over the Milwaukee Admirals on Saturday night at the Allstate Arena.

Haydar had a goal and an assist, and defenseman Chris Tanev notched 3 assists for the Wolves, who snapped a three-game home ice winless drought.

“When you haven’t won in a while, it becomes difficult to get a victory,” said Wolves coach Craig MacTavish. “It was nice to get a win tonight, especially in front of our home crowd.”

Sebastian Erixon, Victor Oreskovich and Kevin Connauton also scored for the Wolves (10-9-1-3). Goalie Matt Climie stopped 31 shots.

The Wolves host the Grand Rapids Griffins at 3 p.m. today.
