In the pros: J. Schwartz leads Rivermen past Sweatt, AHL Wolves

Former Tiger Jaden Schwartz scored two third-period goals to lead the Peoria Rivermen to 4-2 win over the Chicago Wolves in preseason action on Friday in Illinois.

The 14th overall selection in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft broke a 2-2 tie at 12:24 of the third after forcing a turnover in the offensive zone with the teams playing four-on-four. He added a second unassisted goal, this one on the power play, with just 1:28 left. He stole the puck from Darren Haydar just inside the blue line and then beat goalie Matt Climie between the legs as he was being pulled to the ice.

Chicago’s Bill Sweatt scored a power-play goal against Mike McKenna at 6:14 of the first period.
