Rockford IceHogs News Release
Des Moines, IA - Forwards Jakub Pour and Reese Johnson each recorded a goal and an assist, but the Rockford IceHogs (1-2-0-0) fell to the Iowa Wild (2-1-0-0) 6-3 at Wells Fargo Arena Friday evening open a two-game weekend series. IceHogs goaltender Arvid Soderblom recorded a season-high 47 saves.
Pour opened the scoring late in the first period, snapping in his first AHL/North American tally off a give-and-go with Johnson at 17:51. Defenseman Isaak Phillips added the second assist.
The second period featured six total goals with four belonging to the Wild to take a 4-3 lead to the locker room. Forward Connor Dewar made it 1-1 just 32 seconds into the period to start the scoring frenzy. Johnson responded at 5:53, batting a loose puck over the glove of Wild goalie Andrew Hammond (W, 16 saves on 19 shots) from the top of the goal crease. Iowa's Nick Swaney then rattled off back-to-back goals at 8:18 and 10:20 to give the home club their first lead.
