Drew Commesso split the weekend going 1-0-1 to improve his season record to 4-2-1. This weekend he only allowed six goals between the two contests and made a total of 41 shots. 

Ethan Del Mastro provided two helpers in the 5-4 overtime loss to the Milwaukee Admirals last Friday. The two assists now bring his season total to six points (1G, 5A) in 13 games with Rockford.
