Rockford Gets Last Laugh in OT

[From the Griffins]

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins nearly doubled-up the Rockford IceHogs in shots on Saturday as they looked to extend their series winning streak to four, but Dylan McLaughlin cashed in on a 2-on-1 break 2:14 into overtime to give the visitors a 2-1 win at Van Andel Arena.

Rockford netminder Matt Tomkins was the story over the first two scoreless periods, keeping the IceHogs in the game despite the Griffins’ shot advantages of 14-5 in the first period and 30-10 through 40 minutes.

The Griffins finally broke through Tomkins on shot No.
