Tale of the Tape: April 3, 2018 vs. Milwaukee

• 175: On Monday, the American Hockey League named Oscar Dansk the CCM/AHL Goaltender of the Month for March. Dansk has been stellar since returning to the Chicago Wolves lineup on Feb. 15, but March has been his highlight of the 2017-18 campaign so far. In those 31 days, Dansk backstopped the Wolves in nine of their 14 games and compiled a 6-1-2 record to help lift the team into the top spot in the Central Division. The 24-year-old also recorded a 1.75 goals-against average and .941 save percentage. Although he did suffer his first regulation setback of the season March 17 against the Rockford IceHogs, it was the only game that he allowed more than two goals. The Stockholm native opened the month with his first AHL shutout on March 2 and never recorded less than a .909 save percentage in a game.

• 6: The Chicago Wolves’ magic number to clinch their 19th postseason berth is 3. Chicago can solidify their 2018 Calder Cup spot Tuesday night with a win over the Milwaukee Admirals. The once-hot Admirals are now somewhat lackluster with just a 5-5-0-0 record in their previous 10 games. While the Wolves are on the verge of clinching a playoff spot, the Admirals are the outside trying to claw their way into the postseason. However, they must run the table in their final seven games to surpass the red-hot Rockford IceHogs, who have been the Central Division’s best team with a 8-1-1-0 record in their last 10 games.

• 23.6: When veteran blueliner Jason Garrison is out of the Chicago Wolves lineup, the D corps’ average age shrinks to 23.6 years old. The 34-year-old is the outlier to a primarily mid-20s group that includes three 26-year-olds. Aside from Garrison, the defensemen that have manned the blueline for most of the season for the Wolves are all between 23 and 26 years old. As of Tuesday, the Wolves now have two rookies below the 22-year-old threshold. The 19-year-old Nicolas Hague was reassigned from his Ontario Hockey League team, the Mississauga Steelheads, to Chicago on Tuesday morning while 21-year-old Dmitry Osipov was recalled from loan to the Quad City Mallards (ECHL) by the Wolves on Saturday.

• 200: Defenseman Griffin Reinhart nearly has reached his 200th American Hockey League game — his next game will be No. 199. Since being drafted by the New York Islanders fourth overall in the 2012 NHL Draft, Reinhart has skated in 235 total professional games. He made his NHL debut on Oct. 10, 2014, with the Islanders and appeared in 36 more games between the Islanders and Edmonton Oilers. At the AHL level, the 24-year-old has skated with three different teams across four seasons. He debuted in the league with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers (2014-15) and then skated two seasons with the Bakersfield Condors (2015-17) as part of the Edmonton organization. This season with the Wolves, Reinhart has appeared in 55 games and owns 12 points (2G, 10A).
