ICE CHIPS: Eric Neilson- Right wing
Right wing Eric Neilson tallied one goal and one assist over the weekend giving him his first professional point-streak. Neilson has recorded three points (1g,2a) on the year all coming against his former team, the Peoria Rivermen.
Neilson will be presented with the Rampage's Man of the Year Award this Friday prior to puck drop.
