Hog Talk: Episode 12 - Austin Strand
Listen on Apple Podcasts
IceHogs defenseman Austin Strand joined the team on a trade earlier in the season, and he's the most recent guest on Hog Talk!
Cole Guttman became the fourth IceHog ever to win AHL Player of the Month honors by registering 22 points (11G, 11A) in 12 games throughout the month of March. The last IceHogs player to earn Player of the Month recognition was Michael Leighton
Guttman has 13 goals in his last 14 games, and rides an eight-game point streak into this week. He has also pieced together six straight multi-point efforts.
Along with the Player of the Month recognition, Guttman was also named the AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Mar. 31. He is the 16th IceHogs player to earn AHL Player of the Week honors, and the first since David Gust in October of 2022.
Guttman's linemates, Brett Seney and Rem Pitlick, are also rolling offensively. Pitlick has recorded four consecutive multi-point games and Seney has an active five-game point streak.
Rockford clobbered the opposition last week with 5-4 (shootout), 5-1, and 6-0 wins. The 16-goal outburst is the most in a three-game span for the Hogs this season.
Drew Commesso picked up his second career shutout with 34 saves against the Chicago Wolves on Mar. 30.
Rockford has won three games in a row and 13 of its last 15. The Hogs currently sit in third place in the Central Division, and the team's magic number is now down to 1. The IceHogs will clinch a playoff berth with a win, an overtime/shootout loss, or with any kind of Chicago Wolves loss.
Brett Seney is tied for ninth in league scoring with 55 points (21G, 34A) and leads all Rockford skaters, surpassing his total of 54 points from last year with the Hogs. His 25 points on the power play (11G, 14A) are tied for third in the AHL.
Louis Crevier scored his first professional goal on Mar. 29 against the Milwaukee Admirals. The former seventh-round pick by the Blackhawks made his NHL debut earlier this season with Chicago and appeared in 24 NHL games.
Mike Hardman scored his 19th goal of the season on Mar. 29 against Milwaukee to tie a career high that he set as a rookie in 2021-22.
