IceHogs Welcome Moose to Screw City, Chasing Back-to-Back Home Wins
Rockford, IL - The Rockford IceHogs host the Manitoba Moose tonight, Saturday, November 14th, at 7:00 p.m. The IceHogs look for back-to-back wins in the BMO Center after a thrilling 3-2 overtime victory over the Milwaukee Admirals last night.
The Matchup:
Last Time Out: The IceHogs last faced the Moose on Oct. 30 in the BMO Center. It was a 2-2 tie game heading into the 3rd, but the Moose created separation late. After a goal from Manitoba's Brayden Yager, Dylan Anhorn netted his first of the season to make it a 3-3 game with only 11:00 remaining in regulation. The Moose then scored three unanswered goals to win the game 6-3. Manitoba scored four shorthanded goals, including a Danny Zhilkin empty-netter.

THREE THINGS TO KNOW:
Late Game Landon: The IceHogs 3-2 win over the Admirals last night was capped off by an overtime goal from forward Landon Slaggert. Slaggert has been no stranger to extra time this season, now having two game-winning overtime goals this season (Oct. 24 @ Toronto). Slaggert is the IceHogs' 3rd leading goal scorer (4) and ranks top 5 on the team in points (9).
Sodie Pops: After being assigned to the Rockford IceHogs from Chicago, goaltender Arvid Soderblom had a great return back to the Screw City. Soderblom recorded 22 saves, including a clutch stop in the overtime period, and was rewarded with the game's second star. Soderblom is familiar with success in Rockford, having played in 71 regular-season and 10 playoff games with the IceHogs from 2021-2023.
You Gotta Be There: The first 3,000 fans (21+) in attendance tonight will receive Screw City-themed towels, presented by Bud Light. The towels feature three different light settings and could be a difference maker tonight. The IceHogs have not won back-to-back regular season games in the BMO Center so far this season, but have a chance to do so against a Manitoba squad that they competed with closely the last time they battled it out in Rockford.
