Scoreless Through the Opening Frame
The opening 20 minutes produced no goals. The IceHogs showed Soderblom, wearing No. 40, making a save with the scoreboard still reading 0-0, and the live scoreboard still showed the same score well into the second period. Neither team has broken through yet, and the game is still there to be won by the first goal.
Soderblom Holds the Line for Rockford
Rockford’s net belongs to Arvid Soderblom on Saturday night. The IceHogs leaned on him in the pregame build up too, with head coach Jared Nightingale praising the goaltender’s professionalism in the team’s pregame preview. So far he has given Rockford exactly what it needs: a clean sheet while the IceHogs look for an opener of their own.
Moose Look to Keep the Road Run Going
Manitoba came into Rockford in good form. The Moose beat Texas 3-2 in a shootout on Tuesday, November 10, in Cedar Park, with Danny Zhilkin scoring twice and Brad Lambert netting the shootout winner, then took the rematch 2-1 on Wednesday, November 11. The Moose also won their last visit to Rockford, 6-3 on October 30, tying an AHL record with four shorthanded goals in one game. Ashton Sautner and Noah Gregor took part as full participants in Friday’s practice, and the Moose will hope the extra bodies help on a night when goals are hard to come by.

What Comes Next
The first goal will change everything in a game this tight. If the Moose find it, they stay on a roll that has carried them through Texas and back into the Central Division fight. If Rockford finds it first, Manitoba will need another comeback, and this team has made a habit of those. Earlier Saturday, the Winnipeg Jets rallied from 4-0 down to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 in a shootout, with Mark Scheifele passing Dale Hawerchuk for the franchise points record. The Moose will want to make it a clean sweep for Winnipeg hockey in Illinois.
