Game Preview

Rockford, Ill.- After recovering from a slow start, the Rockford IceHogs have reeled off four straight wins (4-3-0-1) and have a chance to avenge two of those losses tonight against the Chicago Wolves at the BMO Harris Bank Center at 7:05 p.m. The game is also an Illinois Lottery Cup matchup.

The first 1,500 adults 21-and-older will receive a voucher for an IceHogs mug courtesy of Applebee’s. The voucher can be redeemed at either Rockford area Applebee’s and is the first of a two-set series that will be given away this season.

For tickets, visit IceHogs.com, call (815) 968-5222 or stop at any Ticketmaster outlet and the BMO Harris Bank Center Box Office.

Tonight’s game can be viewed on WIFR’s 23.2 “Weather Now,” Comcast Cable channel-436, Mediacom 101 or online through AHLlive.com. The web stream can be heard through IceHogs.com.

Rockford dropped their first two games of the 2012-13 season to the Wolves at the Allstate Arena, including a 1-0 shootout defeat on opening night, leading Rockford to an 0-3-0-1 start. But four straight wins have pulled the IceHogs above .500 and a regulation win tonight would tie the Hogs with Chicago for first place in the Midwest Division.

Brandon Pirri has the hot hand for the IceHogs, marking points in four-straight contests (3g-3a) and Ben Smith has three goals over his past two outings after being held off the score sheet during the first six games.

Wish the Icehogs would have a better back up option

 

[Capt. Serious]

Yeah, I cringe any time Alec Richards is in net.

 

[icehogfan08]

[Capt. Serious]

[icehogfan08]

Well 6-3 this games over. Hopefully Bollig kicks someone's ass

 

[icehogfan08]

Imagine when Alec Richards is in net...:fist:

He is in net

 

[Capt. Serious]

No, I meant imagine if he was somehow the #1 goaltender.

 

[icehogfan08]

No, I meant imagine if he was somehow the #1 goaltender.

I'd hope the team could average 5 goals a game

 

[Capt. Serious]

Is Saad back on his junior team or just a healthy scratch?

 

[icehogfan08]

I still believe he is a scratch
