HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. – After snapping the Chicago Wolves’ seven-game winning streak on Friday at Van Andel Arena, the Grand Rapids Griffins saw the tables turned and had their own four-game run ended by the Wolves in an 8-4 final on Sunday at the Triphahn Center Ice Arena.
The Griffins, who had surrendered only 11 goals over their first six games, allowed their most goals against in more than 10 years, dating to a wild 10-8 win at Chicago on Nov. 27, 2010. It marked only the eighth time in 25 seasons that Grand Rapids yielded eight or more goals to the opposition.
