WEEK 4 REPORT: HOGS STUMBLE AFTER POINT STREAK HITS 5
BACON BITS:
-The Rockford IceHogs picked up points in two of three home games last week, going 1-1-0-1 with a victory over the San Antonio, shootout loss to Manitoba and outright defeat by Cleveland...Each of Rockford’s three losses in regulation this season have been against the Monsters...The Hogs have otherwise posted points in all six of their other contests this season (4-0-1-1 against other teams).
-The IceHogs limited the opposition to just two goals in each of their three home games last week...Overall, the Hogs are allowing only 3.00 goals per game in 2018-19, and have only once allowed more than two goals on their home ice (5-3 win vs. Texas on Oct. 13).
-Rockford outshot Cleveland in the season opener on Oct. 5 but has since gone eight consecutive games without outshooting the opposition...The IceHogs have been outshot in six of those games and finished tied in shots on goal in two of those contests...Opponents own a 259-225 advantage in shots on goal during that eight-game stretch.
-Matthew Highmore has tallied four points (1g, 3a) over his last three games to move into a tie for the team lead in scoring...Highmore led Rockford in scoring at home last season (25 points) and has now logged six of his first seven points this season on home ice...He has combined for 31 points (17g, 14a) in 38 home games with the IceHogs.
-Victor Ejdsell produced Rockford’s first multi-goal game of the campaign with a pair of tallies against the Monsters on Saturday...The forward has combined for 10 goals over his last 19 AHL games with the IceHogs dating back to the 2018 Calder Cup playoffs...He has totaled three multi-goal efforts during that span.
-Andrew Campbell collected his first point of 2018-19 during Sunday’s game, breaking up a shutout with a goal late in the second period against Manitoba...The goal was just his 34th career marker in 662 career AHL games, and marked the fifth AHL team with which Campbell has scored at least one goal (also Tucson, Toronto, Portland and Manchester)...Campbell finished last week’s three-game schedule with a team-high +3 rating.
