ROSEMONT, Ill.—The Wolves took the ice against the Texas Stars on Saturday night at Allstate Arena in the first of eight meetings between the Central Division rivals this season.
Bradly Nadeau scored but that was all the offense the Wolves could muster as they fell 3-1 in Chicago’s second contest in a set of three games in three days.
“We gave them too many chances and obviously we didn’t score enough,” Nadeau said. “At the end, we saw some positives … so that’s something to build on.”
After a scoreless opening period, Texas scored twice in the second as Jack Becker and Antonio Stranges tallied.
With 7 minutes, 44 seconds remaining in the third, the Wolves got on the board when Ryan Suzuki sent a cross-ice pass that deflected off Nadeau, who had rushed the net. The power-play marker—Nadeau’s 11th goal of the season—was assisted by Suzuki and Felix Unger Sorum.
“We hadn’t scored in a while and we wanted to keep things simple and bring pucks to the net,” Nadeau said. “(Suzuki) found me backdoor while I was trying to build a wall and hopefully have it hit off me and it worked.”
Kole Lind’s empty-netter in the waning moments sealed the deal for the Stars.
Amir Miftakhov (24 saves) suffered the loss in goal for the Wolves while Remi Poirier (30 saves) earned the win for the Stars.
The Wolves dropped to 15-9-4-4 on the season while Texas stands at 15-16-3-1.
Up next: The Wolves host the Manitoba Moose on Sunday at Allstate Arena (3 p.m.).
