Rosemont, IL. – The Rockford IceHogs were shutout Saturday night 4-0 against the Chicago Wolves inside Allstate Arena. Scott Morrow’s hat trick powered Chicago at home.
The Wolves got two quick goals in the first period in the span of 59 seconds. First, it was defenseman Scott Morrow who snapped a one-timer past Drew Commesso. Less than a minute later, Ryan Suzuki fed Bradley Nadeau down by the goal line for the 2-0 lead.
In the middle frame, the Wolves extended the lead with another goal from Morrow. The blue liner was late to join the rush and found the puck in the slot, before snaping it far side. Rockford’s penalty kill stood tall at the end of the 2nd period, killing off a full four-minute double-minor.
Rockford pushed in the 3rd and pulled Commesso for an extra attacker, but it was the Wolves that converted with Morrow scoring into the empty net for his hat trick.
