Rosemont, IL – The Rockford IceHogs stormed past the Chicago Wolves with a 3-2 overtime win on Saturday night at Allstate Arena. Dominic Toninato deflected in the OT power play goal to improve Rockford’s record to 4-0.<\/p>\n
In Chicago’s home opener, the Wolves struck first 10:51 into the 1st period. Gleb Trikozov located a rebound in front of Rockford’s crease and pushed the puck past Stanislav Berezhnoy.<\/p>\n
Just 17 seconds later, the Hogs responded and tied the game 1-1. A strong forecheck freed up the puck for Dillon Boucher who fed Paul Ludwinski in the slot. The Hawks’ 2nd-round pick snapped his shot home over the shoulder of Chicago’s Nikita Quapp.<\/p>\n
In the 2nd period, the Rockford net was under siege with the Wolves throwing 19 shots towards Berezhnoy. The Russian goalie stopped all 19 and kept the Wolves off the board.<\/p>\n
The Hogs earned a power play midway through the frame and capitalized for a 2-1 lead. Oliver Moore danced into the zone and drew Wolves defenders to him, then set up Nick Lardis on the back post to tap in the rookie’s first professional goal.<\/p>\n
After allowing the tying goal to Chicago’s Felix Unger Sorum, the Hogs drew a penalty with 20 seconds to go in regulation.<\/p>\n
On the 4-on-3 advantage in overtime, Lardis snapped the puck to the back door where Toninato guided in the game-winning-goal. Berezhnoy earned the win in net, stopping 38 Chicago shots.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
