The AHL’s Chicago Wolves took on the Rockford IceHogs this afternoon. Due to COVID-19 concerns, the Predators’ normal AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals, opted out of the season, and the Predators are partnering with the Carolina Hurricanes’ affiliate Wolves. Milwaukee’s General Manager Scott Nichol and their coach, Karl Taylor, have been working closely with the Wolves all season. Today’s game featured quite a few highlights from the players in the Predators organization. We’ll have more in-depth coverage for you tomorrow.
The first big moment was this 2-on-1 shot from Philip Tomasino in front of the net for his first goal as a professional:
Not to be outdone, forward Rem Pitlick scored on this breakaway, shorthanded, after seizing the opportunity after a missed slap shot from Rockford.
