Chicago Wolves News Release
DANIEL CARR'S FANTASTIC FOUR
Left wing Daniel Carr joined an elite group when he produced four goals in the Chicago Wolves' 5-3 victory Wednesday over the Milwaukee Admirals.
The 27-year-old from Sherwood Park, Alberta, became just the fifth player in the Wolves' 25-year history to deliver four scores in one game - joining Dan Currie (1995-96), Steve Larouche (2000-01), Nigel Dawes (2010-11) and Kenny Agostino (2016-17).
Carr, who scored 6 goals in 38 games last year for the NHL's Montreal Canadiens and 11 goals in 20 games for the AHL's Laval Rocket, figured it was about time.
"I score most of my goals within five feet of the net and going to the net," Carr said. "The first three (Wednesday) were right around the net where the battles are. That's where I score and I haven't done as good a job as I need to, so I should probably try to do that more."
TERRIFIC HOLIDAY EXPERIENCES AHEAD
The holiday season all but starts now - if it hasn't started already - and the Wolves' plan is to provide great giveaways and experiences for every fan who comes to Allstate Arena over the six weeks.

BROOKS MACEK
For the first time in five weeks, Macek didn't score three goals. He did score twice on Saturday night against Rockford, however, which gives him the AHL lead in goals (14) and points (21). On Wednesday at Milwaukee, Macek became the first Wolves player in 18 years (and the second AHL player in three years) to hand out five assists in one game.
BRANDON PIRRI
The 27-year-old veteran racked up four assists over the weekend - including three on Saturday night against former team Rockford - to move into a share for sixth place among AHL point-scorers with 17. Pirri's 13 assists in 14 games pace the Wolves and share third in the league. He has failed to score in just three of the team's first 14 games.
DANIEL CARR
On Wednesday at Milwaukee, Carr became the fifth player in Wolves history to deliver four goals in one game. Carr added another goal against Milwaukee on Sunday to push his season totals to nine goals and 20 points. The latter number shares second place in the AHL and he also leads the league with six power-play goals and a +20 plus/minus rating.
