POSITIVE PETRO: Since being a healthy scratch on Dec. 16, Rampage defenseman Alex Petrovic has gone a +10 in his last nine games and now leads the team in plus-minus (+7). The rookie defenseman also has tallied one goal and four assists in that span.

ICE CHIPS: Jacob Markstrom-Goaltender

Rampage netminder Jacob Markstom won both of his starts last week and has now rattled off three-straight victories between the pipes, only allowing four goals and stopping 106-of-110 shots in that span. In Fri- day's 3-0 win over Peoria, Markstom recorded his second shutout of the season by stopping all 26 shots he faced. The 49 shots he turned aside to kick off his winning streak last Sunday was a career high for the Swe- dish netminder.
