Hogs Continue Hot Streak in Grand Rapids
The IceHogs extended their point streak to a season-high four games (3-0-0-1) and picked up their third consecutive win with a 4-1 victory at Grand Rapids last night and improved to 1-2-0-0 in their head-to-head series against the Griffins. Since the start of November, the IceHogs have picked up points in eight of their last 11 games (6-3-1-1). Recap & Highlights
Delia Delights
Goaltender Collin Delia made a season-high 40 saves last night including 16 saves in the third period for his second win of the season. All-time, he improved to 8-7-1 in 16 appearances against the Griffins. The 40 stops are tied for third-most by an IceHogs goalie this season with Arvid Soderblom's 40 stops on Oct. 16 at Chicago (5-3 win). Soderblom holds the top two spots with 45 saves on Oct. 30 at Texas (4-3 win) and 47 saves on Oct. 22 at Iowa (3-6 loss).
Kurashev Cashes In
In his second game with the IceHogs since being assigned by the Chicago Blackhawks, forward Philipp Kurashev picked up his first two goals of the season last night against the Griffins. He is the fourth IceHogs skater to grab multiple goals in a game this season behind Evan Barratt last Wednesday at Milwaukee, Lukas Reichel's hat trick on Nov. 7 vs. Manitoba and Alex Nylander's two tallies at Chicago on Oct. 16.
