ROSEMONT, Ill. (December 8, 2010)- The San Antonio Rampage won their fourth straight game with a 5-2 victory over the Chicago Wolves at Allstate Arena on Wednesday night. The Rampage have won 18 of their last 22 games and improve to 19-6-1-0 as they continue to lead the Western Conference with 39 points.

Center Andrew Ebbett and right wing Petr Prucha each recorded two assists in the contest. Ebbett is currently on a four-game point streak with his third consecutive multiple point night.

Left wing Mikkel Boedker provided a goal and an assist for a team-leading eighth multi-point game.

The Rampage took a 1-0 advantage 10:31 after the initial face off on right wing Matt Watkins' rebound goal. Watkins punched the puck past Wolves goaltender Peter Mannino after Viktor Tikhonov's shot was deflected into the slot. Rampage defenseman Jeff May provided the second assist.

San Antonio extended their lead to 2-0 off right wing Brett MacLean's sixth power-play goal of the season.

Chicago responded with two consecutive goals in the second period cutting the Rampage lead to 3-2.
