WEEK 4 (thru Saturday)

After scoring two goals, 22-year-old defenseman Jakob Chychrun received a lot of love from his teammates - and from GM Henry, no doubt - the seventh round draft pick potting 9.0 of his team’s 13.0 points, the never-say-die Ice Hogs tracking toward a huge come-from-behind win.

Ice Hogs: 42.1
Misconducts: 45.7­
Two days into the week the Ice Hogs were trailing the Misconducts by 24.1 points. Since then the Hogs have outscored their sputtering opponent 32.5 to 12.0, the sharp-shooting Hogs with a red laser trained on GM Smalley’s forehead, their deficit a mere 3.6 points.

Ice Hogs: Alexander Radulov, Oliver Bjorkstrand, T.J. Oshie   
Misconducts: Travis Konecny, Roope Hintz, Miro Heiskanen, Sergei Bobrovsky*

With yesterday’s FHL News pinned to their locker room bulletin board, the inspired Lumberjacks responded with 10.7 points - Mitch Marner leading the surge with three assists and 4.0 points.
