The Wolves are 3-4-0-3 (9 points) against the IceHogs with two games remaining in the head-to-head series (Apr. 19 at Chicago, Apr. 30 at Rockford).

Lucky Number 7 vs. Wolves
Saturday’s 4-3 shootout win at Chicago was the IceHogs’ seventh win in the head-to-head series this season and just the third time in their 14-year history against their rivals that they have hit the seven-win mark in a single campaign. The IceHogs went 7-2-3-0 against the Wolves in 2015-16 and a franchise-best 8-3-1-0 in 2014-15. The IceHogs are 4-0-0-1 against the Wolves at Allstate Arena this season, which is also the third time in their history to have four or more wins in Rosemont. The IceHogs went 4-1-1-0 in 2018-19 and 4-2-0-0 in 2014-15.

Teply and Hardman Have Banner Weekend vs. Wolves
After missing four games due to a left ankle injury, forward Mike Hardman netted a career-high three-point game (1G, 2A) against the Wolves on Friday, recorded his sixth goal of the season on Saturday in Rosemont and now has three goals and two assists for five points in his last four games. Forward Michal Teply was removed from COVID-19 protocol before the weekend and registered his second two-goal game of the season on Friday and scored the game-winning goal in the shootout on Saturday.

Meijer First Goal Fundraiser
When the IceHogs score the first goal of each game this season, Meijer will donate $50 to Rock House Kids, a 501(c)(3) foundation helping feed Rockford’s inner-city youth in a safe nurturing environment. This season's donation to Rock House Kids is currently $650!
