The IceHogs look to snap a season-opening six-game winless streak (0-5-1-0) tonight against the Monsters. The stretch the longest season-opening skid in team history after an 0-3-0-1 start to the 2012-13 season. The IceHogs picked up a 5-4 win over Charlotte in Game 5 of the campaign on Oct. 21, 2012.
