The Chicago Wolves received two major additions to their team this week in Noel Gunler and Vasiliy Ponomaryov (Ponomarev). Both players were selected by the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round of the 2020 NHL Draft and both players have bright futures with the organization. Wednesday’s game marked the AHL debuts for both players and an impressive beginning to their professional careers. Chicago is poised to make a deep run in the AHL playoffs after clinching a first round bye with their win on Wednesday. Adding players like Gunler and Ponomaryov will keep Chicago’s lineup ahead of the opposition in terms of depth.
