Rockford, IL - The Rockford IceHogs finished their busy weekend with a 6-5 shootout victory over the Wolves on Sunday afternoon inside the BMO Center.

In the 2nd period, Rem Pitlick blasted in a goal from the slot for the second-straight night to gave the Hogs a 3-2 edge. Once again though, the Wolves pounced back with Noel Gunler wiring in a wrister while cutting though the zone.

Pitlick converted his second of the night at 4:47 of the 3rd after Miftakhov gave the puck away right to the Rockford forward for a 4-3 lead.
