Saturday, Oct. 22 vs. Chicago Wolves AT&T Center, 7 p.m. (CT) San Antonio will start their second back-to-back weekend on Saturday night when they take on the Chicago Wolves at the AT&T Center. This will be the first-of-four times that these teams meet this season. In 2015-16, the Rampage split the series with the Wolves, winning each of its two road games and losing each of its home games in overtime.
Sunday, Oct. 22 vs. Chicago Wolves AT&T Center 3 p.m. (CT) Sunday's matchup will be second among three double headers for the Rampage this month. San Antonio's home stint will come to a close as the Rampage head on the road next week. The Rampage and Wolves won't meet again until the Silver and Black's annual Rodeo Road Trip in February. THIS WEEK'S PRACTICE SCHEDULE 2016-17 SCHEDULE/RESULTS ICE CHIPS: Rocco Grimaldi - Rampage Center Rampage Center, Rocco Grimaldi, scored his first goal of the 2016-17 season and first since rejoining the Silver and Black during the game on Sunday afternoon. The second period goal assisted by Mikko Rantanen and A.J. Greer came on one of the seven power play op- portunities the that Rampage collected. Grimaldi returned to the Ala- mo City after spending the 2015-16 year with the Florida Panthers organization since the affiliation split before the 2015-16 season.
Splitting the season between Portland (AHL) and Florida (NHL), Gri- maldi recorded 33 points as a Pirate and five points in a Panthers sweater. PACIFIC DIVISION STANDINGS
