9, the 25-year-old registered his first two goals of the season. The first knotted the game at two with under five minutes to go in the middle frame; Agozzino sliced through the Admirals' defense and ripped the puck up under the crossbar to tie the game at two. The tally was Agozzino's first of the season. He recorded his second marker of the game on a short-handed 2-on-1 rush with center Alex Friesen to give the Wolves a 3-2 lead at 6:41 of the third session.
BRAD HUNT The American Hockey League's top-scoring defenseman with 4 goals and 10 assists for 14 points, the 28-year- old picked up three of those points (G, 2A) in the last week. In the Wolves' 5-4 overtime setback against the Milwaukee Admirals on Nov. 9, Hunt nabbed 2 assists setting up center Ivan Barbashev's team-leading sixth goal and Magnus Paajarvi's third of the season. In Saturday's 4-2 loss against the Cleveland Monsters, Hunt opened scoring at 13:50 of the first period with one-timer off a feed from Ty Rattie.
MAGNUS PAAJARVI The 25-year-old wing's contributions on the scoresheet continued last week with 2 goals through three games. Most recently, Paajarvi scored in the Wolves' 2-1 setback against the Cleveland Monsters on Nov. 11. He netted his third goal of the season in Chicago's 5-4 overtime loss against the Milwaukee Admirals. The Sweden native has appeared in eight games this season with the Chicago Wolves and has registered at least a point in all but three of them. Paajarvi is also one of two - center Ivan Barbashev is the other - of the team's most gentlemanly players, logging zero penalty minutes so far this season. REWIND
