Chicago's Joel Edmundson lit the lamp with a power play goal 2:19 into overtime to disappoint a packed house at the Utica AUD as the Wolves skated to a 4-3 win over the Comets to tie their best-of-five series at 2.

The penalty that setup Chicago's opportunity came just after the start of extra time and was for too many men on the ice.

Sven Baertschi tallied an assist on all three Comet goals while Cal O'Reilly had two assists. Cory Conacher opened the scoring, putting Utica ahead 1-0 6:43 into the first period with a power play goal. After the Wolves tied it half through, Adam Clendening put Utica ahead once again at the 14:56 mark of the first.

A pair of unanswered Chicago goals in the second put Utica in the hole, but Bobby Sanguinetti tied the game at 3-3 about five minute into the third, also a power play score.

Utica - the top seed in the Western Conference - will host tonight's decisive Game 5 at 7:00.
