Rosemont, IL – The Rockford IceHogs suffered their first loss of the season, 6-5 at the hands of the Chicago Wolves on Sunday at the Allstate Arena.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Wolves pounced early with three goals in the opening 6:40 of the game. First, it was Bradly Nadeau, who stuffed the puck over top of Drew Commesso’s shoulder from behind the Rockford net.<\/p>\n
59 seconds later, Chicago defenseman Ronan Seeley batted a loose puck out of mid air to double the Wolves advantage. Chicago extended the advantage while on one of their four 1st period power plays. Nikita Pavlycchev deflected in a point shot just outside the crease.<\/p>\n
Before the end of the period, Rockford cut into the deficit to get on the board. Nolan Allan fed Ryan Gagnier down low after a face off win to make it 3-1 Wolves.<\/p>\n
In the 2nd period, the Hogs continued their comeback with Brett Seney connecting on a wrist shot from the near circle after a Nick Lardis feed. Moments later, it was Seney who returned the favor to Lardis and the rookie blasted in a one-time shot to tie the game 3-3.<\/p>\n
Rockford scored its 4th goal in under four minutes with a creative give-and-go between Seney and Dmitri Kuzmin. The Rockford defenseman deked backhand forehand and slid the puck past the Wolves’ Amir Miftakhov.<\/p>\n
The Wolves punched back to tie at 4-4 with a Gavin Bayreuther blast from the far wall. First-year Hog Dominic Toninato ripped the Rockford lead right back, finishing a rebound in-tight after a Taige Harding point shot. Chicago pulled even again 5-5 at 16:41 of the 2nd period with another power play goal, this time from Felix Unger Sorum.<\/p>\n
In the opening three minutes of the 3rd, Ryan Suzuki capitalized off of an IceHogs turnover and snapped home the game-winning goal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
