Friday, Oct. 16, 7 p.m. Allstate Arena
The Chicago Wolves certainly kicked off the 2015-16 season on the right skate — see what we did there — starting off the young campaign with a dominating 5-1 win over the Milwaukee Admirals in an Amtrak Rivalry contest.
Now, they’ll take on another squad who began the season with a W, as the Texas Stars make the first of their two visits to Chicago tonight. The Stars have swept the season series the past two years, extending their series win streak against Chicago to eight games.
The Wolves will look to put an end to a five-game losing streak against the Stars at Allstate Arena. It’s been a while since Chicago has celebrated a home-ice victory against Texas with the team’s last win against the Stars at Allstate dating back to Jan. 16, 2013 when they topped them 4-1.
By The Numbers
392: Head coach JOHN ANDERSON is in his 14th season with the Wolves and his 10th when the team has been part of the AHL. He owns 392 regular-season wins against AHL foes, which ranks fifth in league history.

6: Goaltender JORDAN BINNINGTON has started six straight games dating back to last year’s Western Conference quarterfinals series against Utica.
