Rockford, IL - The Texas Stars meet the Rockford IceHogs (Chicago Blackhawks affiliate) in the first round of the 2022 Calder Cup Playoffs with Game 1 coming Wednesday night at BMO Harris Bank Center in Rockford.
The teams face each other in the postseason for the fourth time in their history and for the first time since Texas crushed the hearts of the IceHog faithful in the 2018 Western Conference Finals. The Stars eliminated Rockford in six games, four of which went to overtime, to advance to the Calder Cup Final that season.
Prior to the 2018 meeting, the teams faced each other twice, each team having earned a sweep: Texas 4-0 in 2010 and Rockford closing out the Stars in three in the opening round of the 2015 tournament.
