AHLTV.COM DON’T SLEEP ON PITLICK 2020-21 During the Chicago Wolves’ fast start, a lot of attention has been paid to the team’s teenagers — which TALE OF THE TAPE makes sense because there are several of them and they’ve been plenty good through the first three REGULAR-SEASON SERIES games. But it’s not like the rest of the roster belongs to AARP. 0-1-0-0 Grand Rapids | 1-0-0-0 Chicago LAST MEETING Take center Rem Pitlick, for example. He made his NHL debut with the Nashville Predators on March Feb. 5, 2021 25, 2019 — shortly before his 22nd birthday. The Ottawa native then scored 20 goals in 63 games last year for the AHL’s Milwaukee Admirals during his first year as a pro. Nashville’s 2016 third-round pick has served as head coach Ryan Warsofsky’s first-line center for all three games and has been terrific at both ends of the ice. Pitlick shares the American Hockey League 0-1-0-0 3-0-0-0 lead with three goals and has earned the game-winning goal in each of the last two games — both of them breakaway goals that looked remarkably similar. His game-winner Tuesday against Rockford LEADING SCORERS came on shorthanded when he pounced on a loose puck at the Wolves’ blue line.

Somewhat surprisingly for a franchise like the LAST MEETING Feb. 6, 2021 Wolves that has done so much winning over the years, this marks just the seventh 2-0-0-0 start in the team’s 27-year history.

It doesn’t really matter if there’s playoffs or not. What it means to be a pro: 11-17-1-0 18-8-1-2 How you prepare yourself for practice is consistent. How you play is consistent. Right now, we don’t know what we’re getting shift-to-shift. That’s something that we’re preaching right now (as) coaches.” SERIES LEADERS WHAT WERE THE ODDS?
