Rockford IceHogs News Release
Rockford, Ill.- After returning home from a five-game road trip, the Rockford IceHogs trounced the Port Huron Beacons at the Rockford MetroCentre Saturday night 5-2, in front of 4,353. The line of Olivier Proulx (1g-3a), Terry Harrison (3a) and Chris Gobert (2g-1a) accumulated 3g-7a-10pts to lead the IceHogs to the win.
The Hogs spread out the scoring against Port Huron and began the lamp lighting at 3:26 of the first period when defenseman Vince Malts cranked home his fourth goal of the season. Before the end of the period, Proulx made the score 2-0 at 12:06, set up perfectly by Harrison.
The IceHogs would tack on two more in the second period to push the lead to 4-0, both tallies coming from Gobert. His first came on the power play after a feed from Harrison found the second year winger in the high slot at 9:34 in which he fired home to make it 3-0. Gobert was then on the receiving end of another perfect pass from his college line-mate with just 6.4 seconds left in the period.
The Beacons would make things interesting in the third period however. Forward Josh Tataryn notched the first Port Huron goal at 2:16 of the period on a Beacons power play. Winger David Beauregard closed the gap to 4-2 with another goal at 5:38. The Hogs and Ryan Bonni stopped the bleeding at 9:28 of the frame, when the d-man blasted home the IceHogs fifth goal of the game.
