ROSEMONT, Ill.—The Wolves dispatched the Colorado Eagles 2-1 in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals of the 2026 Calder Cup Playoffs on Wednesday night at Allstate Arena.
Bradly Nadeau had a goal and an assist and Justin Robidas scored to help the Wolves even the best-of-seven series at 2-2 with Game 5 scheduled for Friday night at Allstate Arena.
“After losing the last two, it feels good to even things up and now it’s a best two-out-of-three series,” said Wolves goaltender Cayden Primeau, who made 33 saves to record the victory. “The start was huge. (Wednesday night) they were on us a little bit early but we weathered the storm.”
The contest was scoreless until midway through the second period when Robidas broke the deadlock with a shorthanded tally. The speedy forward took a shovel pass from Nadeau, broke in on Eagles netminder Trent Miner and with a defender draped all over him, deposited the puck into the corner of the goal for Robidas’ team-leading fifth marker of the postseason. Nadeau had the lone assist on the score.
Nadeau made it 2-0 early in the third when the forward carried the puck to the left dot and wired a wrist shot over Miner’s right shoulder. Juuso Valimaki and Ivan Ryabkin earned assists on Nadeau’s third goal of the playoffs.
Midway through the third, Alex Barre-Boulet’s goal cut the Wolves’ advantage to 2-1 but Primeau held strong to help propel Chicago to the win.
Next up: The Wolves host the Colorado Eagles in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on Friday night (7 p.m.) at Allstate Arena.
