Wednesday night’s win has given the Wolves a 3-0 lead in a best-of-7 series for the first time since the 2008 Calder Cup Finals and the ninth time in their 28-year history. 3, 2020, while playing for the Washington Capitals against the Tampa Bay Lightning. On Wednesday, Panik returned to the top line alongside Poturalski and Noesen and they set him up for Game 3’s game-winning goal in the final minute of the second period - his first postseason tally since Aug. He spent some time on the Wolves’ top line with captain Andrew Poturalski and Stefan Noesen, but ultimately shifted to the third line when usual first-line left wing CJ Smith returned from injury. Panik finished his injury rehab and made his Wolves debut on April 9. In Panik’s case, he was loaned to the Wolves by the NHL’s New York Islanders because the AHL’s Bridgeport Islanders had too many veterans on their roster. On March 28, the AHL’s trade deadline day, Young acquired three players: defensemen Chris Bigras and Tarmo Reunanen and forward Richard Panik. Wolves general manager Wendell Young’s foresight paid off in Game 3 Wednesday night. Who knows who’ll be in net tonight, but Warsofsky knows he has two fine options. While Kochetkov posted better numbers, Warsofsky determined Lyon should get the shot in Game 3 and the 29-year-old from Baudette, Minnesota, rewarded his coach and the team with his first postseason shutout as the Wolves claimed a 3-0 victory Wednesday night to take a 3-0 series lead. Lyon won Game 1 in Chicago, then Kochetkov got the call in Game 2. During the first two rounds (shades of 2008), veteran Alex Lyon handled every second of the job against the Rockford IceHogs and the Milwaukee Admirals and delivered a 6-1 record.īut prior to the start of these Western Conference Finals, rookie netminder Pyotr Kochetkov was reassigned to the Wolves following the close of the Carolina Hurricanes’ Stanley Cup Playoffs run (which featured four appearances and one win by Kochetkov).
This time around, head coach Ryan Warsofsky has been blessed with the opportunity to follow both of Anderson’s paths. They combined for 12 wins in 16 games and Trefilov received the postseason Most Valuable Player award as the Wolves claimed their second league championship on June 5, 2000, at Grand Rapids. Pavelec handled all but 17 minutes of the postseason as the Wolves wound up hoisting the Calder Cup 14 years ago today at Allstate Arena.īut in 2000, when Anderson had Wendell Young and Andrei Trefilov at his disposal, he alternated their starts throughout the Turner Cup Playoffs. In 2008, for example, head coach John Anderson started Ondrej Pavelec in all 24 games. Over the years, the Chicago Wolves’ best teams have succeeded with all sorts of goaltending situations.
