-Matheson Iacopelli posted his first multi-point game of his rookie season with two assists on Saturday against the Admirals. Iacopelli also joins Louis with points in two straight contests (3a) and has now found the scoresheet in three of his first five professional games (1g-3a-4pts).

-Michael Latta is on a two-game point streak (2g, 1a) and has totaled 2g-5a-7pts over his last nine contests since March 18. Following last week's road trip, Latta has collected 12 of his 16 total points with the IceHogs during road games (3g-9a-12pts on the road).
