Hogs Heating Up as Magic Number Reduces

With the several playoff clinching scenarios, the IceHogs have heated up at the right time. The question that remains is can they keep it up through a busy end to the regular season? In the past month, Rockford has won 10 out of their last 13 games and comes into today riding a three-game win streak. As of now the IceHogs magic number to clinch a spot in the 2022 Calder Cup Playoffs is down to 8 points after Chicago’s win over Texas Friday night.

Soderblom Setting New Records

In Sunday’s 5-3 win over the Tucson Roadrunners, goaltender Arvid Soderblom held off a Roadrunners third period rally to earn his 18^th win of the season. With the victory, Soderblom now holds the IceHogs record for most rookie wins in a single season. With Soderblom’s second shutout of the season at Henderson last Tuesday, he is also tied with Alec Richards for most shutouts by an IceHogs netminder.
