Macek, Wolves Whack Moose
November 3, 2018 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Chicago Wolves News Release
WINNIPEG, Manitoba - Brooks Macek scored his American Hockey League-leading 11th and 12th goals as the Chicago Wolves earned a 4-1 victory over the Manitoba Moose on Saturday night at Bell MTS Place.
Veteran forwards Brandon Pirri and Stefan Matteau produced first-period goals to set the tone for the Wolves (7-3-0-1), who split the weekend series with the Moose (6-5-0-0). Center T.J. Tynan handed out two assists and goaltender Oscar Dansk (4-1-1) posted 29 saves.
Pirri put the Wolves on top 7:33 into the game with a nifty backhand lifted from just inside the goal line. Matteau pushed the lead to 2-0 with a breakaway at the 14:56 mark.
Macek, who's in his first year of North American professional hockey after spending the last five seasons in Germany, notched his 11th goal in as many games when he took a feed from Keegan Kolesar and wristed it past Moose goaltender Ken Appleby at 3:04 of the second.
After Manitoba's Seth Griffith cut the margin to 3-1 early in the third, Macek slammed the door by settling a puck out of the air and blasting it home from the left circle at 11:17.
Appleby (0-3-0) stopped 24 shots for the Moose in the loss.
The Wolves wrap up their five-game road trip with a 10:30 a.m. game Wednesday at Milwaukee. Head coach Rocky Thompson's team returns home Saturday, Nov. 10, for an Illinois Lottery Cup clash with the Rockford IceHogs. Military Appreciation Weekend tickets are available at ChicagoWolves.com and 1-800-THE-WOLVES.
