Tale of the Tape: Feb. 15, 2018 vs. Cleveland

• 2: On Jan. 3, the Chicago Wolves held the Cleveland Monsters to just two shots on goal in the first period of that contest, which set a season-low for opponent shots on goal in a single period. Cleveland only mustered 24 shots the entire game — exactly four below the average amount for Wolves opponents this season. Chicago has held opponents to fewer than 25 shots in 15 of 48 games in 2017-18. Twice the club has kept opponents under 20 shots on goal. The first occurred Dec. 6 — when the team’s franchise-record home winning streak began — when they held the San Diego Gulls to the season-low 16 shots. Ten days later, they kept the Iowa Wild to just 18 shots.

• 3: Three different goaltenders have been between the pipes for the Chicago Wolves through the first four games of the Wolves-Cleveland Monsters season series. Kasimir Kaskisuo owns a 1-1-0 record against Cleveland as he was in net for the series opener on Dec. 8 — the Wolves suffered a 3-2 setback — and for Chicago’s latest victory on Jan. 21. Veteran Michael Leighton earned his AHL milestone 50th career shutout on Dec. 9 against the Monsters while Max Lagace — currently serving as the Vegas Golden Knights backup netminder — manned the crease for a 5-3 win on Jan. 3.

• 14: The Chicago Wolves needs two more victories on home ice to stretch their franchise home winning streak to 14 games. If they can meet that number, they would join the 2006- 07 Norfolk Admirals and 2015-16 Grand Rapids Griffins for the fifth-longest win streak in American Hockey League history on home ice. That total would also put them 10 games shy of matching the league record of 24 straight games set by the Hershey Bears in 2009-10. The Bears went on to win the Calder Cup that season.

• 60: T.J. Tynan, the Chicago Wolves’ leading scorer, has registered more than 60 percent of his points at Allstate Arena. Twenty-three of his 38 points — seven goals and 16 assists — have come during the team’s 23 games on home ice. Of those 23 points, 18 have come since Dec. 6 when the Wolves’ franchise-record home win streak began. Tynan owns six goals and 12 assists through those 12 games. The 25-year-old also set career highs with his first three-goal performance on Dec. 16 against the Iowa Wild and his four-assist night on Jan. 20 versus the Bakersfield Condors. The Illinois native has five multi-point performances this season and has been held scoreless just three times since Dec. 6.

• 1,541: This season, the Chicago Wolves have fired 1,541 shots on net for an average of 32.1 per game. That average ranks the club third in the league for shots per game. Chicago’s Illinois Lottery Cup rival, the Rockford IceHogs are leading the league with an average of 34.77 shots per game while the Grand Rapids Griffins are No. 2 in the AHL with 32.63 shots per game. In head-to-head competition, the Wolves have only outshot the IceHogs twice this season and have been outshot 227-218 — with an average of 31.14 shots per game — through the first seven contests of the 12-game series. Chicago averages 30 shots per game versus Grand Rapids, but has only outshot the Griffins once in six contests. Grand Rapids has the upper hand in series shots on goal, 194-180, and set the season-high for shots allowed by the Wolves with 41 in the  series opener on Oct. 27.
