Hogs Return Home after Successful Western Road Trip
The IceHogs are back at the BMO after going 3-1-0 over a busy four-game in five-day stretch out West at Tucson and Henderson. The IceHogs earned back-to-back wins at Tucson last Friday and Saturday (4-3 in overtime and 6-3) and split their Monday/Tuesday showdown in Henderson, Nevada (4-1 loss and 1-0 win). Forward Josiah Slavin had an incredible road trip, scoring three goals and three assists over the four games and enters Saturday’s game on a four-game point streak.
Slavin Finding Groove in Playoff Push
In addition to his four-game point streak, Slavin has been a key member of the team’s success in their postseason push. In his last eight contests, he has six goals and four assists for 10 points.
Reichel On Verge of Setting IceHogs Rookie Records
IceHogs forward Lukas Reichel, who is currently with the Blackhawks, trails forward Vince Hinostroza (2015-16 season, 51 points) by two points to tie the all-time IceHogs rookie points mark and forward Matthew Highmore (2017-18 season, 24 goals) by three goals to tie the all-time rookie goal mark.
Mitchell Closing in on Rookie Defensive Marks
IceHogs rookie blueliner Ian Mitchell’s 32 points are tied for fourth among all-time IceHogs rookie defensemen alongside Shawn Lalonde (2010-11 season). He trails Lucas Carlsson (33 points, 2017-18), Brian Connolly (35, 2009-10) and Adam Clendening (46, 2012-13). Mitchell’s 10 goals this season is the most scored by an IceHogs rookie defenseman all-time, passing the previous mark of nine set by Carlsson and Clendening.
Soderblom Making his Mark in First Season
IceHogs rookie goalie Arvid Soderblom has already claimed the team’s all-time rookie mark for shootout wins (4) and sets his sights on the wins record, trailing Collin Delia (2017-18 season) and Alec Richards (2010-11) by a single victory. Earning his second shutout of the season on Tuesday at Henderson, Soderblom is now tied with Richards for the most shutouts by an IceHogs rookie goalie. With a save percentage of .918, he is currently ahead of Antti Raanta’s record of .914 set back in 2013-14 with 11 games remaining.
