Magic Number Continues to Reduce
After the IceHogs 5-1 win over the Manitoba Moose on Sunday, their magic number reduced to five points in order to clinch a spot in the 2022 Calder Cup Playoffs. However, the IceHogs can clinch as early as Wednesday night with wins over Chicago on Tuesday, Grand Rapids on Wednesday and Grand Rapids and Texas losses along the way.
Taking Down the Top
The Chicago Wolves have dominated opponents all season and with a record of 46-14-5-5, they've officially clinched the Central Division Title. However, trouble arises when they meet the IceHogs. The Wolves are 3-4-0-3 against the IceHogs this year and have lost the last three matchups in a row against Rockford, all by just one goal.
Slavin Making His Mark
Rockford forward Josiah Slavin netted a goal and an assist in Sunday's 5-1 win over Manitoba. After riding a four-game point streak to start the month of April, Slavin now has five goals and five assists in his last eight games.
