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.

IceHogs look to keep their postseason record perfect and finish off the Milwaukee Admirals
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO/WQRF) — The Rockford IceHogs are perfect in the postseason at 4-0 so far against the Wolves and the Admirals. They'll try to keep it that way Wednesday night when they host the Admirals in game three of their playoff series. The Hogs won the first two games of the best-of-five matchup in Milwaukee. If they win Wednesday night, the series will be over, and the IceHogs will move on to the Central Division Finals. The IceHogs are coming off an impressive 6-1 win in game two Saturday night. They need to keep their edge though and not let off the gas, because the Admirals are still very dangerous. Joey Anderson, who had a hat trick in that game two win, knows that well. 'It's just a process, like it's being simple with the puck. It's continuing to forecheck and be frustrating in the sense that, like these guys just don't go away. We're always on top of them. We give them no space. We've done a good job of that so far in the series, so I think tomorrow night, same thing.' IceHogs' captain Brett Seney said before the Chicago series that the IceHogs are built for the playoffs. These first four games so far reinforce that in Anderson's mind. '100%. I don't know how anyone would be in that locker room right now and not think that. Probably the most complete games we've played of the season have come in this last little stretch, and we've got guys buying in, sticking to the game plan and not trying to overcomplicate things.' For the Admirals, it's a large hill to climb. They have to win three straight games now to survive this series. Wednesday's game is a must-win for them. Admirals' defenseman Kevin Gravel says he and his teammates still believe they can capture this series. 'They still have to beat us one more time. You know, we're not out of it yet. I can't stress enough how much I still believe in this group, how confident I'm in this group. It's going to take a good effort. It's going can take our best effort, but all we've got to do is win a game on Wednesday.' Wednesday's game will begin at 7 p.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
