The IceHogs were in bad shape.
Down 3-1 in the second period, Rockford saw its Calder Cup playoff hopes sinking Tuesday at UWM-Panther Arena in Milwaukee. But then the IceHogs steered the ship with a three-goal rally with Dylan Sikura scoring the game-tying at 4:38 in the third period and game-winning goal at 3:21 in overtime for a 4-3 victory.
Rockford, the Blackhawks’ AHL affiliate, sits one point back of a potential playoff berth in the AHL’s Central Division with two games remaining in the regular season.
Lucas Carlsson had a goal and an assist, while Reese Johnson dished out two primary assists.
