IceHogs Momentum Halted by Wolves
Rockford, IL – The IceHogs fell to the Wolves 3-2 Saturday night inside the BMO Center. Chicago wins the first of twelve total matchups in the regular season between the in-state rivals.
Chicago jumped on top just 1:52 into regulation thanks to Tyson Jost’s first goal of the year. He beat Rockford goaltender Mitchell Weeks for the 1-0 lead. The IceHogs responded quickly when on the man-advantage. Brett Seney deflected in his first of the season, his 100th professional goal.
The Wolves countered with two goals in 58 seconds. Brendan Lemieux banged home a rebound to restore Chicago’s lead at 2-1. Moments later, it was Noel Gunler who snapped a shot from the far circle and found twine and gave the visitors a 3-1 advantage.
Rockford struck early in the 2nd period with Gerry Mayhew’s first goal in an IceHogs’ uniform. The veteran found a loose puck just after the Rockford man-advantage expired and wired it past Ruslan Khazheyev.
In the final period, Rockford outshot Chicago 11-2 but couldn’t leak one over the goal line. Khazheyev finished with 21 saves in the 3-2 victory, while Weeks stopped 19 saves for the IceHogs.
The IceHogs are back home inside the BMO Center on Friday, November 8th to host the Grand Rapids Griffins. It’s a $2 beer and soft drinks night presented by Lamonica Beverages as Rockford goes for its third-straight win against Grand Rapids. Click here for tickets.
