Story By: Steve Jankowski
Bensenville (November 9, 2008) - The Chicago Steel hit the road for two games this past weekend, and came home with two wins. 

On Friday night, the Steel traveled to Lincoln to face the Stars, and used two goals from Greg Wolfe to earn a 5-3 win and put an end to a three-game losing streak. 

Andrew Miller, Eric Alexander, and Mike Walsh also added goals for Chicago, and Hudson Stremmel stopped 37 Stars shots to earn the win in net. 

The Steel also got two assists from Dean Chelios. 

The next night, the Steel visited the Sioux Falls Stampede, and opened up a quick two-goal lead on goals from Dan Kolomatis and Wolfe. However, Sioux Falls would tie the game at two before end of the first 20 minutes. 

Andrew Miller would score the only goal of the second period and give the Steel a 3-2 lead entering the third period. 

But early in the third, Sioux Falls would take the lead on goals from David Eddy and Josh Holmstrom.  Holmstrom's goal came on a power play, and put the Stampede ahead with just under 13 minutes left in regulation. 

Five minutes later, Brett Kostolansky tied the game at four for Chicago. 

After Greg Wolfe was sent off for a hooking minor, the Stampede looked to retake the lead.  But just 10 seconds after the Stampede power play got underway, Eric Alexander scored the eventual game-winning goal while short-handed for the Steel. 

Miller added an insurance marker, scoring into an empty net while the Steel were on a power play with 40 seconds left in the game. 

Stremmel earned his second straight win, stopping 27 Stampede shots.   

The Steel return to the Edge Ice Arena on Wednesday, November 12 against the Waterloo Black Hawks.  Game time is 7:30 p.m. and tickets can be ordered by calling the Steel at 630.594.1165.
