Chicago entered the weekend trailing Manitoba REGULAR-SEASON SERIES by 11 points, but earned a split that built some confidence and triggered a mad dash to the finish that 3-3-0-0 Grand Rapids | 3-2-1-0 Chicago ended with the Wolves capturing the Central Division crown. This weekend, the Wolves aren’t as far away from the top of the Central -- but Rocky Thompson’s crew finds itself with another direct opportunity to get closer to division-leading Grand Rapids. The Griffins picked up a shootout win over Texas on Friday night to take a 3-point lead over Iowa and a 6-point lead over the Wolves. Chicago, however, has played three fewer games than the Griffins and the Wild. 31-16-4-4 29-17-5-1 The Wolves already own a pair of wins to start their five-game homestand, so they’re looking for their LEADING SCORERS IN SERIES third straight win overall and third straight win over Grand Rapids.
