2019-20 Season in Review - November 2019

After a 3-5-0 start to the season, the Rockford IceHogs rolled into the month of November looking to pick up momentum in the AHL’s Central Division standings.

With a victory in their final game of October (6-2 win vs. San Antonio), the IceHogs began the new month with a four-game winning streak, one of two victorious four-game stretches during the season and the longest of the campaign.

Overall, November proved to be the best month of the season for the IceHogs, earning an overall 8-3-0-1 record with three more wins coming against the Chicago Wolves and a 5-0-0 start to the head-to-head series, the longest winning streak all time against the Wolves and the best start ever against their in-state rival in team history.

Light the Lamp:

The IceHogs scored a season-high seven goals on Nov. 3 vs. Chicago at BMO Harris Bank Center. Down 4-2 heading into the third period, forward Dylan Sikura netted his first professional hat trick in a monsterous comeback effort. The five goals scored in the third period were the most the IceHogs would score in any single frame during the 2019-20 campaign. You can watch the FULL game below on #IceHogsRewind!
