Scott Gall continued his hot start, adding a pair in his OUA debut to lead LU. E.J. Faust had the T-Wolves other goal, with Dylan Butler adding a pair of helpers.
Justin McDonald took over and allowed three goals over the final two period for Lakehead, who open 0-1-0.
The two teams face off again on Saturday night.
Lakehead returns to Fort William Gardens next Friday night for their home opener against the UQTR Patriotes.
