Chicago Wolves News Release


WOLVES HEADLINERS

--- JASON KROG: Notched seven points (3G, 4A) on Saturday, the most tallied by a Wolves player in over 11 years and one shy of matching the single-game, franchise-record eight points (2G, 6A) set by former right wing Rob Brown on March 24, 1996 ... Registered 10 points (3G, 7A) last week, which includes posting his second hat trick of the season and a team season-high four assists on Saturday ... Tallied a point in each of the season's first 12 games, the longest streak in the AHL this season ... Leads the AHL with 16 assists and 25 points in 12 outings this season

--- BRETT STERLING: Registered five points (2G, 3A) on Saturday, which was the highest single-game output by a rookie in Wolves history ... Paces AHL first-year pros and ranks third on the team with six goals and shares second among league rookies and places third on the squad with 14 points in 11 tilts

--- DARREN HAYDAR: Tallied a point in each of Chicago's first 12 games this season, which is tied for the longest streak in the league this year ... Accrued three points (G, 2A) on Saturday, the third time this season he has notched at least three points in a contest ... Ranks second in the AHL with 10 goals and 21 points in 12 outings

--- BRAYDON COBURN: Dished out a career-high three assists in Saturday's win ... Paces Wolves blueliners with five assists and six points and has racked up 18 penalty minutes in six games this season

--- MICHAEL GARNETT: Ranks second in the AHL with 503 minutes played and shares fourth with five wins and fifth with 218 saves in nine appearances this season ... Accrued a 5-3-0 mark with a 2.98 goals-against average and a .897 save percentage

FOR THE RECORD

Chicago's 10 goals against Peoria on Saturday established a franchise record for markers on the road and is an AHL season-high. The Wolves' 10 goals, six power-play tallies and total of 27 player points all fell just one short of matching single-game franchise marks in their respective categories.

WOLF TRACKS

--- Chicago's 17 points (8-3-1-0) shares second in the West Division and third in the Western Conference; the team has posted three consecutive wins for the first time this year and has earned a point in seven of its last eight games.

--- The Wolves have notched wins in each of their first seven road games, which is the best start away from the Allstate Arena in franchise history and is two shy of matching the team record for consecutive road wins; the club's seven road victories are the most in the AHL.

--- JASON KROG and DARREN HAYDAR's 12-game point streaks are the longest in team history to start a season.

--- KROG's hat trick on Saturday was the team's second of the season and 61st all time; last year, DEREK MacKENZIE netted the Wolves only three-goal performance, which didn't occur until the team's 39th outing.

--- Saturday's game marked the second time this season the Wolves earned a win when allowing at least five goals (2-3-1-0).

NOTABLE

Veteran forwards DARREN HAYDAR, JASON KROG and KYLE WANVIG will drop by Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge on Thu., Nov. 16, to meet and greet patients, sign autographs and hand out goody bags.
