Bradly Nadeau had two goals and an assist, Felix Unger Sorum a goal and an assist, Nikita Pavlychev scored and netminder Amir Miftakhov made 23 saves to propel the Wolves to a 4–1 win. The win was the Wolves’ second in a row as they improved to 2-2-0-0 on the trip that concludes Sunday in Manitoba.
The Moose took the lead when Kale Clague stepped out of the box and scored on Manitoba’s first shot of the game just 2 minutes and 45 seconds into the game. After that it was all Miftakhov and the Wolves.
Late in the opening period, the Wolves were skating on the power play when Nadeau collected a cross-ice pass from Unger Sorum and ripped a shot from the left spot that sailed over the right shoulder of Manitoba netminder Domenic DiVincentiis. Unger Sorum and Domenick Fensore provided assists on the score.
After a scoreless second, Nadeau struck again to give Chicago the lead. The winger crossed through the slot and directed a shot from Gavin Bayreuther’s point that slid past DiVincentiis. The score 2:38 into the third was assisted by Bayreuther and was Nadeau’s fifth of the season.
The Wolves extended the lead to 3-1 late in the third when Unger Sorum tapped in a rebound on a Nadeau shot. In addition to Nadeau, Dominik Badinka had an assist on Unger Sorum’s seventh goal of the season.
Pavlychev scored the Wolves’ fourth unanswered goal when he found the back of the empty net to cap the scoring. Noel Gunler got an assist and Fensore added his second helper of the match.
DiVincentiis (26 saves) took the loss in goal for the Moose.
Chicago moved to 9-6-3-0 this season, while Manitoba fell to 10-8-2-0.
