The Rockford IceHogs rallied from a 2-0 first-period deficit, and Anton Wedin scored in the fifth round of the shootout for a 3-2 win against the Laval Rocket on Tuesday at Place Bell in Laval, Quebec.
After Rockford goaltender Collin Delia made five saves in the shootout, Wedin swung to his right then drifted to the slot and lifted a shot past Keith Kinkaid’s glove for the game winner.
Joseph Cramarossa scored a shorthanded goal, and Dmitry Ospiov scored his first career AHL goal for Rockford (16-10-0-1), which finished its three-game Canadian road trip 2-1 and improved to 7-2 in its past nine games.
