The Rockford IceHogs edged the Chicago Wolves 2-1 in Game 1 of the Central Division Semifinals on Saturday night at Allstate Arena. The best-of-five series continues Sunday with Game 2 in Rockford.
The Wolves entered the first round of the Calder Cup Playoffs as the division’s top seed and owner of the home-ice advantage, but the IceHogs took it away by scoring two power-play goals in the opening 23 minutes and then holding on.
