Iowa Wild’s week report

The Wild have played three games last week. They hosted the Milwaukee Admirals last Friday, then they were in Chicago Saturday and back to Des Moines last night.

Guess what? Another overtime was needed.  Rattie got the game winning goal and his second of the game. The Wild lost 3-2, but they extended their point streak to eight games. Gustafsson once again was in net and made 26 saves.

The Wild will host Chicago tomorrow night and they'll be in Rockford Saturday.

Some news and notes:

- Friday: Iowa signed Marc Hagel to a SPC (standard player contract/AHL contract) for the remaining of the 2013-2014 season. Hagel previously was on his 18/25 game of his first PTO that was signed in December.
