Rosemont, IL - The Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights returned to the road and kept their winning streak going with a 4-2 win over the Chicago Wolves on Saturday night at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. Brandon Prust had a pair of goals, and Brent Krahn won his fourth straight game, making 29 saves. The Knights have now won five straight games.

The Knights struck first in the game, something they hadn't been able to do in two previous meetings with the Wolves. Brantt Myhres and Warren Peters worked the cycle off the right wing wall, and Peters found Carsen Germyn alone in the slot. He blew a shot through the pads of Jani Hurme for his team-leading 12th goal of the year. The goal was also a career high.

The Knights doubled the lead on a late powerplay. Mark Giordano's shot from the left point was tipped in by Justin Taylor for his third goal of the year. It also stretched Giordano's point streak to a team high six games.

Outshot 7-4 in the first period, the Knights were making the most of their chances. They did so again early in the second period when Zenith Komarniski's shot from the left point bounced around in the slot. Prust pounced on it for his third goal of the season, his second in as many games.

The Knights held the 3-0 lead until late in the period when Karl Stewart took a deflected pass and sprinted up ice, beating Krahn for a shorthanded goal at 16:10. The Knights held a 3-1 lead after two.

Omaha pushed its lead to 4-1 during a powerplay late in the third period. Peters kept the puck in at the right wing wall and threw the puck on goal where Prust tipped it past Hurme.

Chicago responded just 1:14 later when Ramzi Abid scored on a shot from the slot, but the Wolves could get no closer in spite of a 31-23 shot advantage.

The Knights are now 10-8-0-3. The Knights finish the three-in-three weekend on Sunday afternoon when they host the Iowa Stars at 5:00 p.m.

Tickets for all home games are on sale at the Civic Auditorium box office, Monday through Friday, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., on Sunday from noon through game time and at all Ticketmaster outlets. Tickets may be purchased by calling 422-1212 or at Ticketmaster.com.
