The Chicago Wolves picked up their first win over the Texas Stars this season with a 4-3 shootout victory in Rosemont, Illinois this afternoon. Each game this season between these two teams has been decided by a single goal and three of them now in overtime. Denis Gurianov and Roope Hintz each had a goal and assisted on the other's tally in the game. Hintz returned from injury with a strong effort.
The Wolves got on the board first and quite early. Bryce Gervais scored just 24 seconds into the game to take the 1-0 lead. Things got no easier for Texas in the period as Austin Fyten took a five minute major and game misconduct for boarding.
