CHICAGO, Ill. The Utica Comets were on the receiving end of a 4-2 setback to the Chicago Wolves on Tuesday afternoon in American Hockey League action.

Ty Rattie led the way for the Chicago Wolves with three points (1-2-3), while Alexandre Boduc (0-2-2) and Keith Aucoin (0-2-2) picked up two points each. Benn Ferriero and Nicklas Jensen scored the Comets goals.

The Wolves struck first 10:17 into the first period when a Comets turnover in the Wolves zone caught Utica in the middle of a line change and led to a 2-on-1 rush. Keith Aucoin slid a pass past Alex Biega to Rattie who fired the games first goal into an empty net.

A hustle play by Bolduc would give the Wolves a 2-0 advantage with 2:55 to play in the first period. A quick pass from Bolduc to the slot found Chris Porter all alone, who beat Utica goaltender Joacim Eriksson and into the net.

The Comets would get on the scoreboard in the second period when Ferriero fired a wrist shot past Chicago goalie Jake Allen with an assist from Patrick Mullen.

The Comets tied the score six minutes later as Grenier put on a shot on goal and the rebound created a scramble in front of the net.

Nicklas Jensen dug the puck out, spun and fired a shot past Allen to knot the score.

The Wolves would pull the game out of reach when Chris Porter and Adam Cracknell scored back-to-back goals in the third period.

Eriksson stopped 31 of the Wolves 35 shots to take the loss in net, while Allen made 30 saves.

The Comets return to action tonight when they take on the host Iowa Wild at 8:05.
