Reichel Inching Closer to Records
In Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Manitoba Moose, rookie forward Lukas Reichel recorded his 43rd point of the season after scoring his team-leading 20th goal of the year. With that, Reichel continues his push closer to breaking rookie records. He's currently trailing forward Vince Hinostroza (2015-16 season, 51 points) for the all-time IceHogs rookie points mark and forward Matthew Highmore (2017-18 season, 24 goals) by four goals to tie the all-time rookie goal mark.
Connolly Starting the 700's with a Bang
On Sunday, March 20 forward Brett Connolly played in his 700th professional hockey game. In addition to his minor league hockey career, Connolly has played for NHL teams including the Tampa Bay Lightning, Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, and Washington Capitals and won a Stanley Cup with Washington in 2018. Connolly continues to be a big impact to the IceHogs lineup, scoring four goals in his last three games. He also enters tonight on a four-game point streak and has 14 points in his last 12 games.
A Quick Look Back
The IceHogs last met up with their division rival, the Iowa Wild exactly one month ago on Feb. 25 when the IceHogs traveled to Iowa on a Friday night for their first of three games that weekend. Iowa ended up skated away with a 4-3 win, but forward Josiah Slavin tallied twice in the contest. Rockford, riding a four-game win streak, comes into tonight's matchup with a 27-23-3-1 record and .537 winning percentage through 54 games played. Iowa, however, has lost six of their last eight games and enters tonight with a 23-25-4-4 record and .482 winning percentage through 56 games played
