The Slave Lake Wolves lost 7 - 3 to the Grande Prairie Wheelers on Sunday at the Arctic Ice Centre. The Wolves were in the game for the most part, but during a stretch of the second period they wrote a blank cheque in scoring chances for Grande Prairie and the Wheelers were only too happy to cash it.
The score was 1 - 1 after one period. The Wolves briefly enjoyed a 2 - 1 lead after scoring on the powerplay, but fairly quickly found themselves down 5 - 2. It was 6 - 2 early in the third when Chad Paulsen scored on the powerplay, but that’s where the comeback stalled.
The Wolves are now off for some Christmas turkey until Jan. 3, when they face the same Wheelers in Grande Prairie. They play Sexsmith on Jan. 4. Sexsmith is one of the teams the Wolves have been able to beat this season, but they have been improving, beating Grande Prairie recently.
