Wolves find the power in their power play

Wolves find the power in their power play
No matter what the Wolves tried in the regular season, nothing seemed capable of resuscitating their morbid power play. Perhaps all it took was for the regular season to end, and to begin again at 0-for-0. The Wolves went 7-for-27 (25.9 percent) with the man-advantage in their opening-round series against the Rochester Americans. They’ll likely... Read more »

Wolves looking to get the jump on Amerks

Wolves looking to get the jump on Amerks
In a very real sense, the Chicago Wolves are fortunate to be tied in their Western Conference quarterfinals series against the Rochester Americans. The teams split a pair of games last weekend in Rochester, N.Y., to open the best-of-5 series that continues tonight at Allstate Arena. In both games, the Wolves trailed 3-1. They were... Read more »

Looking back at Wolves season ahead of Calder Cup opener

Looking back at Wolves season ahead of Calder Cup opener
In what has to be one of the more improbable feats in the AHL this year, the Wolves managed to chase down the Grand Rapids Griffins to win the Midwest Division on the season’s final day. The Griffins had spent the previous 167 days in first place, only to see it slip away with two... Read more »

Rattie, Cundari back in Wolves fold, Chelios shines in debut

Rattie, Cundari back in Wolves fold, Chelios shines in debut
It was just a taste–maybe more like a sip–but Wolves rookie Ty Rattie is grateful for his first NHL experience. Rattie made his Blues debut in Dallas last Friday, and played again in the Blues’ season-finale Sunday against Detroit before rejoining the Wolves on Monday. Rattie’s performance in the two games was rather nondescript–no points,... Read more »

Return to Wolves lineup brings relief for Andronov
The Chicago Wolves locker room area at Allstate Arena wasn’t the happiest of places Sunday evening, not after the team lost its second game in as many days to the Texas Stars.

Cannone shows some flair in return to Wolves lineup

Cannone shows some flair in return to Wolves lineup
Six weeks was a long time for Pat Cannone to sit and watch the Chicago Wolves play games without him. A broken right hand suffered in a Jan. 21 game at Utica kept Cannone on the periphery as the Wolves continued their turnaround season that now has them sitting in fourth place in the Western...

Despite success, Wolves still seeking the right mix
The victories keep coming for the Chicago Wolves. And so do the roster moves. On Wednesday, the Wolves acquired defenseman Joe Corvo on loan from the NHL’s Ottawa Senators, a transaction that came only four days after the Wolves received two players for trading Mark Mancari to the Florida Panthers. “It happens a lot, but...

Baseball skills pay off for Wolves' Rattie

Baseball skills pay off for Wolves' Rattie
A few years ago, Chicago Wolves rookie Ty Rattie had to make a decision about his athletic future — hockey or baseball. Obviously, he chose hockey, but his significant baseball skills are still paying dividends. In Saturday’s overtime loss to the Milwaukee Admirals, Rattie scored a goal that may become the stuff of legend if... Read more »
