IceHogs Eliminated By Admirals In Devastating Fashion
Image The Rockford IceHogs were looking great in the Calder Cup Playoffs. When they took a 2-0 series lead over the Milwaukee Admirals in their second-round matchup, they did it with their fourth win in a row. Advertisement That gave them three chances to close out the series. After losing the next two, the two teams competed in a winner-take-all game five on Sunday in Milwaukee. Game five started negatively for Rockford. Chase De Leo scored his first of the playoffs for Milwaukee to put them up 1-0. However, the IceHogs showed some life in the first ten minutes of the second period. Zach Sanford scored two goals in under three minutes to give Rockford a 2-1 lead. Before the middle frame ended, the Admirals took the lead back. Back-to-back goals by Fedor Svechkov and Jesse Ylonen made it a 3-2 score. At 11:09 of the third period, Joey Anderson tucked in his fifth of the playoffs to tie the game for the IceHogs. At that point, it was clear that both teams wanted to move on badly. It would be an understatement to say that they were evenly matched, despite where they finished in the regular season standings. Advertisement 60 minutes wasn't enough to settle this game or series. Just 1:38 into the fourth period, Fedor Svechkov scored his second to win the game and the series for Milwaukee. It was a hard-fought matchup between two great teams. It was only fitting that it came down to one sudden-death goal. Now, the Admirals will move on to the Central Division Championship of the Calder Cup Playoffs. They will see the Texas Stars in that series. As for Rockford, there will be some changes. The Chicago Blackhawks may have a handful of their players in their opening night lineup next year. Guys like Artyom Levshunov, Ethan Del Mastro, and Nolan Allan, amongst others, are all going to compete for jobs at training camp. There are also players on the IceHogs roster who may be looking to make their NHL debut in the fall. Advertisement Reinforcements could be on the way as well. The Blackhawks will likely have some of the younger guys, like Taige Harding and Marek Vanacker, play in Rockford to begin their careers. Goaltender Drew Commesso deserves some individual praise. He gave the IceHogs a chance to win every night. The Blackhawks' backup situation in 2025-26 is cloudy, but he will be in the mix. Only time will tell if Rockford has what it needs to make a run again next season. It can be difficult in the AHL with all of the NHL transactions that affect their on-ice list of players. Every player, including veterans like Joey Anderson and Brett Seney, should be proud of the year that they had.

Predators damage Isles' playoff hopes with 7-6 OT win
April 9 - Fedor Svechkov scored 1:56 into overtime to give the Nashville Predators a wild 7-6 comeback win over the visiting New York Islanders on Tuesday. The Predators came back to equalize four times in the game, capped by scoring a pair of late goals to force overtime. Svechkov then ended things with a well-placed wrist shot from the slot for the rookie's first career OT winner. The result ended Nashville's six-game losing streak. The Predators (28-42-8, 64 points) had scored only 10 goals during the skid, making their Tuesday offensive breakout all the more unlikely. Steven Stamkos had two goals and two assists for Nashville. Brady Skjei and Jonathan Marchessault each had three assists, and Filip Forsberg and Michael Bunting each had a goal and an assist. Michael McCarron and Ryan O'Reilly scored the Predators' other goals, and goaltender Justus Annunen stopped 16 of 22 shots. The overtime loss dealt a major blow to New York's faint playoff chances. With five games remaining on their schedule, the Islanders (34-32-11, 79 points) are eight points behind the Montreal Canadiens for the final Eastern Conference wild-card slot. New York's starting goalie, Ilya Sorokin, allowed four goals on 23 shots and didn't return after the second intermission due to a possible injury. Marcus Hogberg stopped six of the nine shots he faced in a relief effort. Simon Holmstrom registered two goals and two assists for the Islanders, and Jean-Gabriel Pageau had three assists. Maxim Tsyplakov had a goal and an assist, and Anders Lee, Kyle Palmieri, and Scott Mayfield each had one goal. Each team had two goals in each of the three regulation periods, with New York starting the scoring in each frame. The Islanders never held more than a one-goal lead until Palmieri scored 15:21 into the third period and Mayfield added a short-handed marker less than a minute later, seemingly putting New York in control. However, the Predators saved their biggest comeback for last, as Stamkos scored a power-play goal within 2:07 left in regulation before Bunting tied the game 6-6 off a Stamkos assist with 40 seconds to go.
