ROSEMONT, Ill. – Two third-period goals from Jalen Luypen and Ethan Del Mastro helped the Rockford IceHogs force overtime and earn a point in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Chicago Wolves on Sunday afternoon. 

With Chicago leading 2-1 entering the third, Nathan Sucese scored to extend the Wolves’ lead. Less than two minutes later, Luypen netted his first professional goal to narrow Chicago’s advantage.

Shortly after, Rockford was on the attack when Michal Teply sent a backhanded pass to Luypen in front of the net. Luypen received the puck and shot around Scheel to put the Hogs within one while scoring his first AHL goal (11:22).

Rockford continued to contest the Wolves defense on an offensive break by Brett Seney and Boris Katchouk. Katchouk sent a pass to Seney near the net where the puck caught some air and bounced off Del Mastro into the net to tie the game at three goals a side (12:58).
