Wolves Can't Tame Wild in 5-2 Defeat
November 12, 2022 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Chicago Wolves News Release
ROSEMONT, Ill. - Logan Lambdin and Griffin Mendel each scored their first American Hockey League goals but they weren't enough as the Chicago Wolves fell to the Iowa Wild 5-2 on Saturday night at Allstate Arena.
Lambdin and Mendel became the third and fourth Wolves players in the last two games to record their first AHL goals.
Iowa got goals from Nick Swaney, Kevin Conley, Nic Petan, Sammy Walker and goaltender Jesper Wallstedt to defeat the Wolves in the first of 10 meetings between the teams this season.
The Wild jumped to a 1-0 lead 32 seconds into the game on Swaney's goal before Lambdin knotted it at 1-1 later in the opening period. The winger took a pass from Anttoni Honka and fired a wrist shot from the slot past Wallstedt. The assist gave Honka a team-leading eight and he paces Chicago in points this season with nine.
The Wild answered back on the next shift on a goal by Conley and extended the lead midway through the second period on Petan's score.
Walker's power-play goal early in the third made it 4-1 before Mendel found the back of the net for the first time this season. The defenseman's shot from the point eluded Wallstedt.
Iowa put the capper on the game when netminder Wallstedt scored while the Wild were shorthanded.
Zachary Sawchenko (12 saves) suffered the loss in goal for the Wolves while Wallstedt (37 saves) earned the win for Iowa.
Next up: The Wolves will host Milwaukee on Sunday (3 p.m., AHLTV; NHL Network). It will be Family Sunday and Player Poster Giveaway at Allstate Arena.
