IceHogs open Iowa road trip without recalled Toninato
Rockford visits the Wild on Friday after losing its opener; Iowa begins its home schedule with three points from two games.
The Rockford IceHogs will be without Dominic Toninato when they visit the Iowa Wild on Friday, Oct. 9. Rockford's game-day preview says its only goal-scorer from the season opener is unavailable after Chicago recalled him on Wednesday.
The matchup at Casey's Center in Des Moines starts at 7 p.m. local time and opens Rockford's road schedule. The IceHogs lost 3-1 to Milwaukee in their home opener last Saturday.
Iowa opens its home schedule after two games against the Texas Stars in Cedar Park. Both went to shootouts, leaving the Wild with one win, one shootout loss and three points.
Rockford and Iowa meet again in Des Moines on Saturday, Oct. 10. The IceHogs' next home game is also against Iowa, on Friday, Oct. 16.
