ROCKFORD - The Rockford IceHogs came into Wednesday night's game against the Milwaukee Admirals with a 4-0 record in the playoffs. They swept the Chicago Wolves in the first round and took a 2-0 series lead over the Milwaukee Admirals in the second round to get to that point.

The Frost will be without a key piece in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series in Toronto after the PWHL suspended winger Britta Curl-Salemme one game for a hit she delivered in Game 1. The PWHL Player Safety Committee handed down the suspension, the third of Curl-Salemme’s rookie season, on Friday morning.
