IceHogs Steamroll the Moose 5-1 in Winnipeg

Manitoba, MB. – The Rockford IceHogs had their way with the Manitoba Moose Sunday afternoon, winning 5-1 inside the Canada Life Centre. Forwards Cole Guttman and Landon Slaggert each had a pair of goals.

Rockford struck first just 5:19 into the game with the teams skating four-on-four. After a faceoff win, Austin Strand sent a shot towards the slot and Guttman got a piece of it to deflect the puck past goaltender Thomas Milic.

Slaggert doubled the lead 2-0 minutes later, when he banged a rebound off a Samuel Savoie shot. The IceHogs continued their momentum into the 2^nd period.

A bouncing puck found Jalen Luypen in the slot, and he made no mistake finishing for the 3-0 goal.

Rockford scored two goals in the span of 44 seconds while skating four-on-four to balloon the lead to 5-0. First, it was Slaggert who finished off a beautiful odd-man rush with Luypen. Guttman followed up the tally with his second of the game, blasting a shot in from the high slot off a Gerry Mayhew assist.

Manitoba finally got on the board with a five-on-three power play goal from Jaret Anderson-Dolan. Drew Commesso finished with 32 saves, allowing only two goals on the weekend against the Moose.
