Hot Hog Week 8:
Rookie defenseman Brian Connelly has a point in each of his last four games (1g-4a-5pts) including an assist (3a) in every contest this week for the IceHogs. Connelly recorded a helper in Rockford’s only goal on Wednesday and then came back on Friday to factor in on the game-winner, the only goal of the game. The Colorado College product’s strong play helped lead the charge in Saturday’s third-period comeback to push the tilt into overtime. Connelly is tied for the team lead with 51 shots and is third on the team with 10 points (2g-8a), having yet to miss a game this season.
