October 23, 2021 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Rockford IceHogs News Release
Rockford, IL - The Rockford IceHogs battle the Iowa Wild tonight at 6:00 CT at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines in game two of their two-game weekend series and the second meeting of their 12-game season head-to-head set.
Johnson and Pour Pick Up Multi-Point Games in Last Night's Setback
The IceHogs and Wild opened their season series last night with the Wild skating away with a 6-3 victory. Forwards Jakub Pour and Reese Johnson would each score a goal and an assist in the loss. Recap & Highlights
Soderblom Tops Another Season High
IceHogs goaltender Arvid Soderblom made a season-high 47 saves last night against the Wild, the most an IceHogs goalie has made since Matt Tomkins provided 46 saves in a 2-1 overtime win at Grand Rapids on Mar. 16, 2020. Prior to Tomkins' feat, former IceHogs goalie and now Chicago Blackhawks netminder Kevin Lankinen set a single-game team record with 55 stops in a 2-1 OT win vs. Milwaukee on Dec. 10, 2019.
Reichel Off and Running
Forward Lukas Reichel picked up a power-play goal last night and now has two goals and an assist in his first three games with the IceHogs this season. He entered the season in the spotlight after strong performances during the Chicago Blackhawks and IceHogs training camps. He was selected by the Blackhawks in the first round (17th overall) of the 2020 NHL Draft.
Hogs Strike First; Open the Meijer First Goal Fundraiser
The IceHogs opened the scoring last night at Iowa as forward Jakub Pour earned his first goal of the season at 17:51 of the first period. When the IceHogs score the first goal of each game this season, Meijer will donate $50 to Rock House Kids, a 501(c)(3) foundation helping feed Rockford's inner-city youth in a safe nurturing environment! Last season, the IceHogs and Meijer donated $1,750 to Rock House Kids.
