Reichel Setting New Records

Reichel is now tied with Vinnie Hinostroza for most points by an IceHogs rookie. Reichel also has a team-leading 21 goals on the year and is just three behind forward Matthew Highmore (2017-18 season, 24 goals) for all-time rookie goal mark.
Back of Net Looking Familiar for Altybarmakian
With nine goals on the season, IceHogs forward Andrei Altybarmakian has gotten four of those in the past four games. Last night he extended his four-game goal streak with wrist shot to give the IceHogs a 2-0 lead at the time.
