The Rockford IceHogs have been consistently average since we last checked in on them, going 3-3-0. That’s good enough to remain in fourth place in the AHL’s Central Division with a few games in hand over those above the in the standings. Making the playoffs may be out of the question for the Blackhawks, but the IceHogs definitely have a chance to get a taste of postseason hockey this year.
From a prospect perspective, the success of the IceHogs continues to largely be due to the offensive contributions of the defensemen. Not quite as strong offensively as in the last sample, but the Rockford prospect blueline contributed to all but five of the 26 goals scored by the IceHogs in their last six games.
