Rockford, IL - The IceHogs are back inside the BMO Center versus the Iowa Wild tonight, Friday, October 16th, at 7:00 p.m. Tonight's game is 90's Night and a $3 Beer Friday at the BMO Center. 

The Matchup:

Last Time Out: The IceHogs traveled to the Casey's Center in Des Moines, Iowa, last weekend. The IceHogs and Wild split a two-game series 1-1.

On Friday, the IceHogs were led by stellar play from goaltender Stanislav Berezhnoy, who totaled 26 saves on the night. Gavin Hayes and Jiri Felcman both found the back of the net, and the IceHogs picked up their first win of the season, 2-1. 

In a loss on Saturday, the IceHogs fought back down 4-1 entering the third period. Hayes and Landon Slaggert scored two unanswered goals to bring the game back within a goal, but ultimately the Wild held on for a 4-3 win.
