The Chicago Wolves rallied from a two-goal first-period deficit to beat the Colorado Eagles 3-2 in Game 6 on Sunday evening, with Ronan Seeley scoring the go-ahead goal at 4:14 left to force a winner-take-all Game 7.
Seeley’s strike finished a comeback that kept the Wolves’ season alive and evened the Western Conference Finals at 3-3. Goaltender Amir Miftakhov finished with 36 saves for Chicago; Trent Miner stopped 19 shots for the Eagles in the loss.
Colorado opened fast: defenseman Jack Ahcan put the Eagles ahead 1-0 on a power play 6:09 into the game, and Valtteri Puustinen extended the lead to 2-0 with 45.9 seconds remaining in the opening period. Chicago began its climb early in the second when Juuso Välimäki scored on a power play 2:07 into the period, and Joel Nyström tied the game with 7:03 left in the third before Seeley delivered the winner.
The sequence underlines the oddity of the night: the Eagles led 2-0 after one period yet could not close the game. A two-goal cushion evaporated through a mix of Chicago’s power-play strike, sustained pressure, and late third-period finishing — facts that leave the series balanced and questions about Colorado’s ability to protect early leads.
Context now matters in one simple metric: Monday night’s Game 7 in Loveland will decide who advances. The decisive game is scheduled for 9:05 ET (8:05 p.m. local) and will send the winner to the Calder Cup Finals to face the Eastern Conference champion Toronto Marlies in the 2026 Calder Cup Playoffs.
After a night that swung from a comfortable Colorado edge to a Chicago comeback, everything comes down to one game in Loveland — a single result that will either send the Wolves on to the Calder Cup Finals or end the Eagles’ bid with a collapse from a 2-0 start.
