IceHogs Take Game One in Hard Fought Battle against Stars
May 5, 2022 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Rockford IceHogs News Release
Rockford, IL - The Rockford IceHogs (1-0-0-0) took Game 1 of the first round best-of-three series against the Texas Stars (0-1-0-0) thanks to a pair of goals from forwards Lukas Reichel and Carson Gicewicz.
After no score through almost half of the game, the IceHogs took the lead when Reichel scored off a beautiful setup from forward Michael Teply at 6:53 in the middle frame.
Then in the third period the IceHogs took a 2-0 lead when a shot from defenseman Isaak Phillips deflected off of Gicewicz and beat Texas goaltender Matthew Murray at 4:06.
The Stars however quickly got one back when forward Fredrik Karlstrom was able to bury it past Rockford netminder Arvid Soderblom's blocker to make it a 2-1 game at 4:53 in the third period.
But that's all Soderblom would give up as he went on to make 33 saves on the night.
The IceHogs and Stars will turn right around for Game Two of this series Friday, May 6 at 7:00 p.m. If a third game is necessary, that will come on Saturday, May 7 at 6:00 p.m. All first round games will be played at BMO Harris Bank Center.
