GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins and Rockford IceHogs needed overtime to decide matters for a second straight Friday, and the IceHogs validated their 3-2 win last week in Illinois with an identical tally at Van Andel Arena to snap the Griffins’ four-game winning streak on home ice.
Luke Johnson scored his second goal of the game during a power play 2:31 into the extra session, roofing a shot from the high slot to end Rockford’s five-game skid at Van Andel Arena and give the visitors just their second victory in their last 11 trips to West Michigan.
