HOGS EARN ANOTHER COME FROM BEHIND WIN ON THE ROAD
Youds’ late third period tally lifts Rockford over Peoria
Peoria, Ill.- The sense of urgency has set in the Rockford IceHogs locker room so it should come as no surprise that the IceHogs took another come-from-behind win on the road. Rockford downed the Peoria Rivermen 2-1 at Carver Arena after entering the third frame down 1-0.
Carter Hutton put out another one-goal effort, making 24 saves to help the IceHogs earn a point in their sixth straight game (5-0-0-1). The win also pulled the IceHogs back to .500 (26-26-2-5) for the first time in 51 games, going back to Oct. 28.
In the third frame, Rockford evened the game 1-1, 2:53 in. Ryan Stanton’s slap shot from the point was redirected past Jake Allen by Peter LeBlanc for his 18th goal of the season.
Then at 17:45, Ben Youds put Rockford on top. Stanton found Youds at the right point, and the d-man blasted his fourth goal of the season through traffic and past Allen for a 2-1 Rockford advantage.
The IceHogs are now 5-8-2-1 when trailing on the road after 40 minutes of hockey this season.
Peoria’s power play put them up 1-0 in the first period Saturday. Newly acquired Patrick O’Sullivan sent a pass from the left wing in front of the Rockford net where Adam Cracknell redirected his 16th goal of the season past Hutton at 13:49.
In the second period, Rockford outshot Peoria 15-9, but Allen blocked them all. The IceHogs had 1:28 of 5-on-3 power play time as well and failed to convert. Overall, Rockford outshot the Rivermen 32-25 in the game.
Next Home Game: Sunday, March 11 vs. Milwaukee: The 13th annual IceHogs jersey auction is Sunday night as Rockford takes on the Admirals. Puck drop is at 5:05 p.m. This year’s theme is “Rock Vegas” and the first 1,500 fans in attendance will receive a deck of IceHogs poker cards sponsored by Lou Bachrodt Auto Mall. There will be a live auction on the ice after the game for fans to win the special “Rock Vegas” jerseys worn by the IceHogs. The band “Dirty Fishnet Stockings” will perform before, during and after the game.
