WHAT A RUSH
The IceMen returned to the Ford Center Saturday for the first time since January 16 and won a thriller 2-1 in a shootout against the Rapid City Rush. The 7,073 fans, combined with the attendance from Star Wars Night (8,229), set an IceMen attendance record for consecutive home games – 15,302.
WHO’S HOT?
Evansville defenseman Andrew Himelson scored the team’s only goal in regulation Saturday against Rapid City, giving the Monroe, NY native a career-high five game point streak. Daultan Leveille, who missed the team’s two games in Indianapolis last weekend with an injury, assisted on Himelson’s goal and scored the winning goal in the shootout. The 25-year-old from St. Catherines, Ontario has points in each of his last three games. With an assist Saturday, Danny Hobbs has eight points (four goals, four assists) in his last eight games.
