DES MOINES, Iowa – T.J. Tynan helped set up both Chicago Wolves goals as the team stretched its point streak to 11 games with a 2-1 victory over the Iowa Wild Monday afternoon at Wells Fargo Arena.
The Wolves (15-12-5-2) scored twice in the first period as Tobias Lindberg netted a short-handed goal for Chicago’s fifth of the season and Mackenzie MacEachern registered his third marker of the year.
With defenseman Chris Casto serving a high-sticking infraction, Tynan and Lindberg found space for a short-handed chance. Tynan fed a pass through the slot to Lindberg for the 1-0 lead just 2:39 into the game.
Later, just as Casto was leaving the box after a different penalty, Tynan cut toward the slot and dropped a pass back to MacEachern trailing up the left wing. He zipped a shot past Steve Michalek (7-3-2) to double the lead at 6:55.
After a scoreless second session, the Wild (15-11-6-2) cut the Wolves’ lead 2-1 when Mario Lucia redirected the puck past Max Lagace (8-2-2) from atop the crease at 9:45 of third period.
With Michalek on the bench in favor of an extra attacker for the final 1:18 of the game, the Wolves weathered the Wild for the win.
Lagace made 25 saves in his eighth victory of the season while Michalek stopped 27 shots in the loss.
