HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. - The Chicago Wolves faced off against the Milwaukee Admirals in the second of back-to-back exhibition games Saturday night.

Cavan Fitzgerald had two goals while Hank Crone and Rocco Grimaldi added scores as the Wolves skated to a 4-3 victory at Triphahn Community Center & Ice Arena.

Adam Scheel (35 saves) was strong in goal for the Wolves as the team's split a pair of exhibition contests in preparation for the 2023-24 American Hockey League season.

After Milwaukee seized the lead with a shorthanded goal from Zach L'Heureux, the Wolves stormed back to take a 2-1 lead after one period.

First, Hank Crone found the back of the net after a scramble in front, beating Milwaukee goaltender Dylan Wells.

Later in the opening period, Fitzgerald wired a shot from the point that sailed past Wells to give the Wolves the advantage.

Jack Matier's score for the Admirals early in the second evened things at 2-2 before Fitzgerald struck again to put the Wolves out in front. The defenseman blasted a shot from the left circle that solved Wells for Fitzgerald's second of the game.

With the Wolves killing a penalty to start the third, Grimaldi made it 4-2 following a nifty pass with Cole Schneider.

Luke Prokop's power-play goal pulled the Admirals to within 4-3 but the Wolves held on for the victory.

Next up: The Wolves open their historic 30th season when they host Milwaukee at 7 p.m. on Oct. 14 at Allstate Arena.
