Tale of the Tape: Nov. 13

Friday, Nov. 13, 7:00 p.m. MTS Centre

After earning a 5-3 win over Manitoba on Thursday night, the Chicago Wolves can extend their winning streak to seven games tonight at the MTS Centre. And somehow it seems fitting that it could happen on Friday the 13th.

Chicago has been particularly successful on Friday the 13th during its 22-season history. The Wolves own a 14-5-0-1 record on this date and have won eight of their last nine games. Chicago and Manitoba have met once on Friday the 13th — when the Wolves claimed a 4-3 shootout win 17 years ago today in Winnipeg.

The Wolves (8-1-0-1) boast the best record in the Western Conference and are enjoying the second-best start in franchise history. The 2007-08 squad opening 9-0-1-0 en route to a 13-0-1-0 start and the 2008 Calder Cup championship.


By The Numbers

599: Head coach JOHN ANDERSON earned his 750th win as a head coach last night; tonight he can pick up his 600th win as the Wolves boss (he has 399 while in the AHL and 200 in the IHL) 

99: Right wing TY RATTIE registered an assist Thursday night, which leaves him just 1 point shy of 100 for his AHL career. He owns 57 goals and 42 assists in 136 regular-season games for the Wolves

100: Center PAT CANNONE posted two assists Thursday night, which gave him 100 assists for his five-year AHL career. The Bayport, N.Y., native owns 65 goals and 100 assists in 285 regular-season appearances for the Wolves and Binghamton.
