Dec. 17, 2014
ROSEMONT, IL --- Playing their first game in eight days, the Chicago Wolves surrendered three power-play goals to the Adirondack Flames in a 4-1 loss Wednesday afternoon before 13,690 fans at Allstate Arena.
Center Colin Fraser scored for the Wolves (14-10-3-0) while goaltender Jordan Binnington (7-4-1) stopped 21 shots. Flames goaltender Joni Ortio posted 30 saves to earn the win.
"One of my old coaches said the hardest thing to do in hockey is score," said Wolves head coach John Anderson. "It’s getting a little frustrating. We had a couple wide-open nets in the first period and we don’t score."

Dec. 20, 2014
ROSEMONT, IL --- Iowa forwards Jason Gregoire and Tyler Graovac scored two goals apiece to lead the Wild to a 5-1 victory over the Chicago Wolves on Saturday night at Allstate Arena.
Defenseman Mathieu Brodeur scored for the Wolves (14-11-3-0), who get a rematch with the Wild at 3 p.m. Sunday in Iowa.
"I hope our desperation level (changes) more than anything," said Wolves head coach John Anderson. "We were embarrassed at home and now we have a chance to do the same thing right back to them, so we better do it."
