Hogs Getting Hot at Perfect Time
Since March 15, the IceHogs have picked up points in 11 of their last 13 games (10-2-1-0) including 10 wins and have whittled their magic number down to 10 points to clinch a berth in the 2022 Calder Cup Playoffs. Before the club battles the Moose on Friday and Saturday, their magic number could be reduced even further if the first-place Chicago Wolves beat the sixth-place Texas Stars on Wednesday.

IceHogs Sweep Season Series vs. Tucson
With the win last night over the Tucson Roadrunners, the IceHogs swept the season series with a 4-0-0-0 record, their first series sweep (of three games or more) since the 2014-15 season when they went 4-0-0-0 vs. Texas. The IceHogs also went 4-0-0-0 against the Cleveland Monsters during the 2012-13 season.

Race to the Finish
Hosting the Roadrunners on Saturday and Sunday closed a run of six-consecutive games against Pacific Division foes and now the IceHogs turn their attention back to the Central Division for the remaining nine games of the season. The IceHogs will play those nine games over a 16-day run staring on Friday in Winnipeg and will see key matchups against the Moose, Wolves, Griffins, Wild and Admirals.

Soderblom Sets IceHogs Rookie Mark
With his 18th win of the season last night vs. Tucson, goaltender Arvid Soderblom became the winningest IceHogs rookie goalie in team history, passing goaltender Collin Delia’s (2017-18 season) and Alec Richard’s (2010-11) mark of 17. Earning his second shutout of the season last Tuesday at Henderson, Soderblom is now tied with Richards for the most shutouts by an IceHogs rookie goalie. With a save percentage of .917, he is currently ahead of Antti Raanta’s record of .914 set back in 2013-14 with nine games remaining.

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 $1,450!
