The Checkers won Game 2 in Charlotte, North Carolina on Sunday. They were going to need to set the tone in Game 3 in Chicago, on a long road trip against the Wolves. Oh boy, they did just that, the defense clicked, the forwards clicked, and especially goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic clicked, after seeing an iffy performance in Game 1.
Both teams have started their first home games of this series with a loss. Game 1, Checkers lose. Game 3, Wolves lose. The Checkers will need to repeat this success for the next two games in Chicago.
