The Rockford IceHogs have had a three-goalie approach through the bulk of the 2019-20 campaign. With Kevin Lankinen undergoing shoulder surgery last week, it looked as if the Hogs would employ a more traditional two-man approach to the net. Apparently, that’s not Rockford’s style this season.

The Rockford IceHogs faced the best team in the AHL twice this weekend. They were soundly defeated in both tilts. Following Saturday’s game, the league went on its All-Star break.
