Their opponent took a stand, but the Chicago Wolves finally made the Toronto Marlies take a seat in the AHL's Western Conference finals.
Responding to a 2-goal deficit and killing a five-minute penalty, the Wolves made good on a second opportunity to advance to the Calder Cup Finals with a 4-2 victory in Game 5 Friday night at the Allstate Arena.
"The pressure was on us tonight," Wolves coach John Anderson said. "We wanted to win so we didn't have to go back to their building."
The Wolves advanced to their sixth championship berth in franchise history and third Calder Cup Finals since joining the AHL in 2001-02.
