Rosemont, Ill.- The goals came early and often against the Rockford IceHogs on Friday as they fell 7-1 to the Chicago Wolves at the Allstate Arena.

The seven goals marked a season high allowed for the Hogs as did the six goal loss.

While skating 4-on-4 early in the first period, the Wolves capitalized to grab the 1-0 lead. Taylor Chorney picked up a Corey Locke pass and beat Kent Simpson from the right face-off circle at 3:08.

Then the IceHogs penalty kill coughed up two markers to put them in a 3-0 hole. Ty Rattie was first to claim a power play strike when he pounced on a Locke rebound and knocked in his sixth goal of the season at 7:41. Two minutes later it was Shane Harper's turn to ding the Hogs penalty kill unit as he knocked home his fifth tally, chasing Simpson from the game at 9:41.

In the second period, Chicago scored their first goal of the night while 5-on-5. Dmitrij Jaskin shelved his fourth goal of the season over Mac Carruth at 2:15 after Pat Cannone knocked down an IceHogs clear out attempt. Chorney's second power play goal at 8:38 of the second made it 5-0, and marked Chicago's third tally on the man advantage.

The offense kept rolling in the third period for Chicago. Jaskin finished off a Chicago two-on-one breakaway with Cannone and buried his second tally of the game just 34-seconds into the final frame.

Christian Hanson redirected home the Wolves seventh goal of the game and his first of the season to stretch the Hogs hole to 7-0 off of a Cade Fairchild shot at 13:34.

The only blemish on Jake Allen's record came late in the third period when Terry Broadhurst tipped a Brett Skinner shot past the Wolves' puck stopper at 16:24 for his sixth marker of the season.

Rockford finished 1-6 on the power play while Chicago was 3-8. Next Home Game: Saturday, Nov. 30 vs. Chicago Wolves. Puck drop is 7 p.m. The IceHogs host the Wolves in the third Illinois Lottery Cup game of the season. The first 2,500 adults (21+) to the BMO will receive a scarf courtesy of Bud Light.
