Six straight losses as Wolves prey on Griffins

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Chicago Wolves leapt to a 4-0 lead in the first 40 minutes then ceded a pair of goals in the third period before tacking on an empty-netter for a 5-2 victory over the Grand Rapids Griffins on Wednesday at Van Andel Arena.

Grand Rapids got a goal from Taro Hirose in his AHL debut but suffered its sixth regulation loss in a row, the team’s most since a franchise record-tying seven-game skid nearly 10 years ago (Jan. 17-Feb. 3, 2010).

The Griffins (9-13-1-1) will look to get back to the winning side of the ledger on Friday when they host the Rockford IceHogs at 7 p.
