The Chicago Wolves beat the Colorado Eagles 4-3 in Game Seven to win the Western Conference Finals and will face the Toronto Marlies in the 2026 Calder Cup Finals.

The vast majority of the first period was a stale-mate with both teams going 0-for-1 in the power play. In the final minute, Chicago were the recipient of their second power play where forward Noah Philp scored the game-opening goal on the final shot of the period 15 seconds before first intermission to give the Wolves the 1-0 lead.

Chicago immediately picked up where they left as forward and AHL All-Star Bradley Nadeau scored 67 seconds into the second period from the slot to double the Wolves' lead. Colorado's Wyatt Aamodt responded back right away with a one-timer from the right face-off zone 40 seconds later to cut the deficit to 2-1. The Eagles outshot the Wolves 12-8 in the period including going on a 8-0 shooting run for the final 8:51 minutes, yet still could not find the equalizer through 40 minutes.
