Rockford IceHogs, 13-20-3-3, 32 points, 8th Central, 16th West

The last-place Rockford IceHogs skate into Cleveland tonight to take on the Monsters.

After dropping two games in Charlotte this past weekend, the Monsters are on a lose streak. The addition of Markus Hannikainen on the roster tonight should help the boys get back into their groove.

However, the IceHogs defeated their cross-town rival, the Chicago Wolves, on Monday giving them the boost they need to climb out of the bottom spot in the league.
