Players to Watch: IceHogs vs Griffins (1/18/23)

The IceHogs are currently riding a 4-game win streak on home ice - so, perhaps this will shift their recent puck luck back into the positive category. Rockford is also 3-0-0-0 against Grand Rapids so far this season. Let’s hope they keep up those winning ways!

They hoped to do the same again on Sunday. They did. A 4-3 victory over the Iowa Wild gave the IceHogs their third win of the season.
