WOLVES TO WATCH
BRIAN MALONEY: Collected five points (3G, 2A) last week, which includes two short-handed markers; his two shorties are tied for the league lead ... Registered multiple points three times in nine games this season, which matches the total number of multi-point efforts he recorded in his first two professional seasons ... Leads the team with 48 penalty minutes and ranks third with four goals and seven points
JARED ROSS: Notched five assists last week, which includes registering an AHL career-high and team season-most three assists on Friday night ... Shares the team-lead with five helpers in five games this season ... Notched five assists and eight points in 12 games with Motor City (UHL) last season, his pro debut
RAMZI ABID: Currently on a team-season high five-game point streak (Oct. 22 - present), collecting four goals and two assists during that span ... Registered a season-high two goals last Friday against Omaha ... Shares first on the team with five assists and ranks second with five goals, 10 points and 34 penalty minutes in nine contests
PAT DWYER: Collected four points (2G, 2A) in his last four games after being held to one assist in his previous four ... Accrued an AHL career-high two points (G, A) last Friday ... Shares fifth on the club with five points (2G, 3A) in nine games this year
WOLF TRACKS
The Wolves finished the month of October below .500 for just the second time in team history (3-4-1-1)
The Wolves share the league lead with three short-handed goals; all three have come on the road, which paces the AHL; last year, Chicago registered just one shorty in 40 road games.
Last Friday's 7-6 shootout loss against Omaha marked the first time since April 2, 1999, that the Wolves recorded six goals in a game and lost; Chicago was defeated, 7-6, in a shootout against Grand Rapids that night.
The Wolves were thwarted on two penalty shot attempts last week; the team has not cashed in on a penalty-shot opportunity in 108 regular-season games.
CHICAGO BLUES
Chicago has lost three straight home games, marking the first time the team has dropped three consecutive contests at the Allstate Arena since April 3 to 7, 2002, a span of 123 tilts.
