ROSEMONT, Ill. - Grand Rapids scored three goals in a 68-second span of the first period to set the tone for a 5-0 victory over the Chicago Wolves during School-Day Game action Tuesday at Allstate Arena.
Grand Rapids goaltender Jared Coreau (24-10-2) stopped 28 shots to earn the shutout. Center Jeremy Welsh and defenseman Scooter Vaughan paced the Wolves (24-24-3-2) with 4 shots apiece.
"I thought we were all over them the first five minutes," Anderson said. "If we could have gotten a goal early, things could have been different. But we had two missed reads on rushes, they got a bad bounce for their first goal and we're having zero luck right now."
Grand Rapids (30-20-1-1) opened the scoring 7:35 into the game on left wing Anthony Mantha's goal. Eric Tangradi carried the puck along the right boards and backhanded a pass into blue-line traffic that ricocheted to Mantha ahead of the pack for a quick wrister.
The Griffins added two more goals 19 seconds apart as left wing Tyler Bertuzzi and right wing Mitch Callahan gave the visitors a 3-0 lead 8:43 into the game.
Martin Frk made it 4-0 at 7:02 of the second period with a high lob from the bottom of the left circle that deflected off goaltender Jordan Binnington's glove. Frk added a power-play goal at 15:42 of the third to cap the scoring.
Binnington (11-11-3) posted 26 saves.
The Wolves head to Milwaukee at 7 p.m. Friday before hosting the Admirals on Saturday at Allstate Arena. Both games are part of the Amtrak Rivalry. To get the best deals on tickets, visit ChicagoWolves.com or call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.
