Morning Box Score

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Oct 29, 2009 3:00PM

We've been remiss in, until now, pretty much ignoring the Chicago Wolves. That changes today. The Wolves skated past Rockford 3-2 last night in a shootout victory. Tim Stapleton and Spencer Machacek scored the Wolves' goals in regulation and Stapleton netted the only goal in the shootout to give Chicago the victory. Goalie Manny Legace had 32 saves in regulation but, more importantly, had saves on all five of Rockford's attempts in the shootout. Former Blackhawks star Chris Chelios was credited with assists on both Wolves goals.

After a quiet couple of days, things pick up for the Chicago sports scene tonight as the Bulls tip off their season at home against Western Conference powerhouse San Antonio and the Blackhawks are on the road in Nashville.
