Three Things to Know: 

Mr. 500: Brett Seney reached a career milestone when he laced up the skates Sunday evening in Des Moines. Seney took the ice for his 500th professional game, helping the IceHogs secure 4-3 shootout win over Iowa. Seney, 30, is in his fourth season with Rockford and has skated in 243 games in an IceHogs sweater. The Ontario native was selected by the New Jersey Devils in the 6th round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft and made his pro debut with the Binghamton Devils on March 23, 2018 against the Rochester Americans.
