All good things must come to an end, and in the case for the Iowa Wild, it was their five game win streak on Wednesday night after a 3-1 loss in Rockford (Chicago Blackhawks). However, netminder Steve Michalek (4-0-0; 1.72 GAA/.947 SV%) continues his winning ways, stopping 33 of 34 shots Friday night to keep his record flawless.
Game 1
I was able to drive to Rockford before spending time with the family on Thanksgiving, but it turned more into a showcase for Blackhawks prospect, undrafted Matthew Highmore, who netted his first professional hat trick and accounted for all three of Rockford’s goals that night.
