The Rockford IceHogs defeated the Chicago Wolves 5-2 Sunday afternoon in Rockford to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-five Central Division Semifinals. The Central Division champion Wolves will look to stave off elimination in Game 3 on Thursday, April 26, at Allstate Arena.
The game was again dictated by special teams as the Wolves and IceHogs combined for four power-play goals — three by Rockford as it took command in the second period. The IceHogs have gone 5 of 12 on the power play in the series.
