Tuesday, Dec. 8, 7 p.m. Wells Fargo Arena
Chicago begins a four-game road trip tonight at Wells Fargo Arena. The Wolves are winless in four straight road games (0-3-1-0) with their last road win occurring Nov. 12 at Manitoba.
Chicago is making its first appearance this season in Des Moines. JOHN ANDERSON’s team won all four games last season (outscoring the Wild 17-4) and has won six in a row at Wells Fargo dating to April 2014.
Chicago has also won its last five games and 10 of its last 11 encounters against Iowa going back to the 2013-14 season.
The Wolves look to make up ground in the Central Division race as they enter tonight’s contest in fourth place with a .575 winning percentage. Chicago has games in hand versus every team in the Central except for Grand Rapids. Iowa occupies eighth place in the Central, just percentage points behind Manitoba.
Chicago has scored 3+ goals just once in its last eight games. Conversely, the same feat was accomplished eight times in nine games to start the season.
