So what's a team to do when it wins the American Hockey League championship, like the Wolves did last year, and then loses three of its top five scorers and its coaching staff?

CLEVELAND -- The Wolves scored five consecutive goals before staving off a third-period rally, beating the Lake Erie Monsters 5-4 on Wednesday night.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The Wolves saw their season-high five-game winning streak come to an end in a 4-2 loss to the Syracuse Crunch on Saturday night.
