One Win Away
Heading into today's matchup the IceHogs are 4-3-0-0 against the Stars. A 7-4 win against Texas last night helped the IceHogs gain critical points in the Central Division and set them up for a potential series win. With just one regular season contest remaining between the Hogs and Stars, a win today would clinch the series for the IceHogs.
Production All Around
In last night's win over the Stars, 13 different IceHogs recorded points, with six different guys scoring on 7 goals. Forward Mike Hardman led the way with two goals and an assist while forward Brett Connolly tallied once and had two assists. Defenseman Ian Mitchell and forward Carson Gicewicz both picked up two assists as well.
Road Trippin'
After today's rematch, the IceHogs won't see home ice until nearly three weeks later on March 19. Rockford starts a five-game road trip beginning in Winnipeg, Manitoba when they take on the Manitoba Moose on Thursday, March 2 at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, March 5 at 2:00 p.m. From there the IceHogs will make stops in Milwaukee and Cleveland before returning back to the BMO to take on Grand Rapids at 6:00 p.m. on March 19.
