IceHogs Stumble Against the Stars 6-1
Rockford, IL. – The Rockford IceHogs had trouble with the Texas Stars again on Saturday night, losing 6-1 inside the BMO Center.
Despite no scoring in the opening 20 minutes, both teams had plenty of chances forcing Mitchell Weeks and Remi Poirier to each make ten saves.
Antonio Stranges opened the scoring 55 seconds into the 2nd period. The forward snuck in behind the Rockford defense and then beat Weeks on the breakaway. Texas doubled its advantage midway through the frame. Cameron Hughes fed a cutting Kole Lind in the slot to snap it home for the 2-0 lead.
Hogs’ defenseman Isaak Philips was called for a double-minor penalty that put the Stars on the man-advantage. Hughes found the scoresheet again, this time with a goal of his own from the far wing. Texas ballooned the advantage to 4-0 with 18 seconds to go in the 2nd. Captain Curtis McKenzie finished off a Stars’ down low passing play right before the period came to a close.
In the 3rd, Texas extended the lead with Jack Becker’s 6th of the season from the near post and pushed the score to 6-0 with McKenzie’s 2nd of the night.
Rockford’s Landon Slaggert finally got a puck past Poirier with a little under three minutes to go in the game to get the Hogs on the board 6-1.
