FOUR SCORE & FIVE GAMES AGO, HOGS STILL ON WIN STREAK
Rockford, Ill. - Jeremy Langlois scored two goals to help the Rockford IceHogs (19-23-8-3) win their fifth straight game and extend their season-high point streak to eight with a 4-1 victory over the Cleveland Monsters (23-20-2-4) Friday night.
Langlois found the back of the net in the first and second periods, including what proved to be the game-winning goal at 5:24 into the opening frame. His two-point effort also extended his point streak to a season-high three straight games (3g-1a-4pts).
The Monsters notched their lone tally of the game on a four-on-five power play. Markus Hannikainen beat Lars Johansson on a feed from Daniel Zaar for the first power-play goal against the IceHogs in six games.
Johansson stopped each of the other 35 shots he faced from Cleveland’s offense.
Evan Mosey recorded a multi-point game and Spencer Abbott scored his team-leading 12th goal of the season in the win.
Next Home Game: Saturday, Feb. 18 vs. Charlotte Checkers. Rockford hosts the Checkers on its annual “Guns and Hoses” game, which will feature an afternoon hockey game between local firefighters and police officers at the BMO Harris Bank Center at 2 p.m. Saturday’s regularly-scheduled IceHogs game begins at 7 p.m. and the first 2,500 fans in attendance will receive a P.C.
