Colorado: 20-11-2-0, 42 points (4th, Pacific Division)
Players to Watch
Forward Brett Seney (14G, 24A) paces the Hogs in points and assists. Forward Luke Philp (13G, 13A) has gone on a four-game point streak since Dec. 31, marking seven points in those games.
Forward Jean-Luc Foudy (8G, 14A) paces Colorado in assists and points this season, and forward Charles Hudon (11G, 10A) ranks second for the Eagles in scoring and leads the team in goals.
Last Game Highlights
The IceHogs fell to the Iowa Wild in regulation for the first time this season on Saturday in a 4-1 contest. Defenseman Alec Regula tallied the lone Rockford goal, his fifth of the campaign. Although Jaxson Stauber turned away 25 of 28 Wild shots, the Hogs didn't muster up any production after Regula's lamp lighter.
On The Rocky Mountain Road
Tonight marks the IceHogs' first ever matchup with the Colorado Eagles. The 2022-23 season is the IceHogs' 16th in the AHL, while the Eagles are competing in their 5th campaign in the league as the AHL affiliate of the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche. The Hogs and Eagles are slated to face off Jan. 13 and Jan. 14 in Colorado and host the Pacific Division rivals on Mar. 17 and Mar. 18 in Rockford.
Rowdy Rookie
Rookie forward Cole Guttman (11G, 11A) has been a consistent part of the Hogs' offense this season. Tied for 10th in the AHL amongst rookies, Guttman has marked six points in seven games and seven multi-point nights on the campaign.
Feisty Philp
Since coming back from an injury on Dec. 9 against the Iowa Wild, forward Luke Philp has been electric for the Hogs. Going on a four-game point streak, Philp has marked seven points in four games and tallied the game-winning shootout goal on Dec. 30 against the Chicago Wolves.
Hogs On The Move
The Chicago Blackhawks announced Wednesday that they have recalled goaltender Jaxson Stauber from the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League and assigned forward Brett Seney to Rockford. Stauber, 23, has posted a 6-4-0 record with the IceHogs this season, with a 3.06 goals-against average and .896 save percentage. Seney, 26, skated in two games with the Blackhawks this year. Additionally, he shares fourth in the AHL with 38 points (14G, 24A) in 32 games with the IceHogs this season. He paces Rockford in assists and points.
