The Chicago Wolves edged the Colorado Eagles 4-3 in regulation, snapping a 2-2 tie with two third-period goals. Chicago’s forecheck and timely strikes in the middle frame gave them control they never fully relinquished, despite Colorado’s persistent push.
The Wolves opened the scoring late in the first period (minute 20) and doubled the lead 22 minutes into the second. The Eagles answered immediately on the same shift to cut the deficit to 2-1 after two periods. Colorado tied it early in the third (minute 41), but Chicago regained the lead two minutes later, added an insurance goal at 54 minutes, and withstood an Eagles tally at 59 minutes to secure the win.
Neither team converted on the power play — Colorado went 0-for-3 and Chicago 0-for-2 — as the game was decided at even strength. The Wolves’ ability to score three times in a span of 14 minutes across the second and third periods proved the difference.
