Milwaukee scored five unanswered goals in a span of 13:09 to answer an early two-goal deficit.
Rockford scored an early power-play goal to take a 1-0 lead. Cole Guttman, camped in the slot, redirected a Brett Seney pass from the right circle into the net for his first goal of the season at 4:56.
The IceHogs grabbed a 2-0 lead at 15:20 of the first period when Austin Strand’s shot from the left circle found its way through traffic and into the net past the glove of Admirals goalie Matt Murray.
Milwaukee answered just 0:27 after the second IceHogs goal. Zach L’Heureux was able to create space in front of Rockford’s net and backhanded a rebound of a Kevin Gravel shot into the goal at 15:47. L’Heureux’s first goal of the season was assisted by Gravel and Ryan Ufko.
With the teams playing four-on-four hockey, Milwaukee tied the game 2-2 at 18:24. Ufko was able to hold off a defender as he skated from the right point to the left circle. Ufko dropped a pass to Adam Wilsby in the slot and Wilsby blasted a shot past the glove of Commesso for his first marker of the campaign. Ufko and Hinostroza were awarded the assists.
Milwaukee’s Anthony Angello notched his first goal of the season at 0:26 of the second frame. Kyle Marino threw a shot on goal from the slot that Commesso turned aside, but right to Angello on the left post. Gravel also picked up an assist on the go-ahead goal.

Hinostroza factored, once again, in the Admirals’ fifth goal. Working behind the IceHogs’ net, Hinostroza moved with the puck toward the left corner. He then made a drop pass to the right post where L’Heureux deposited the puck for his second goal of the game at 8:56 of the middle frame.
Rockford stopped the Admirals’ five-goal streak with a shorthanded breakaway goal by Frank Nazar at 18:30 of the second period. That cut the IceHogs’ deficit to 5-3.

Milwaukee salt shortage awareness
Milwaukee salt suppliers say inventories are running low, while the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources urges residents to use less salt to protect waterways and save money during winter storms.
MILWAUKEE – Local businesses say road salt supplies are running low in Milwaukee, prompting the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to urge residents and contractors to think carefully about how much salt they use.
What we know:
Brad Davis, owner of Premier Landscape Products, said demand has surged as inventories lag following two relatively slow winters that limited stockpiling. His Milwaukee-based, veteran-owned company sells salt and provides commercial snow removal services.
“It’s been crazy. We’re one of the only distributers here in the Milwaukee area,” said Davis. “It’s insane.”

He said constant phone calls and inquiries have become the norm as customers search for salt.
Premier Landscape Products has salt available at a time when supplies are tight across the region, Davis said, though getting it has become more complicated.
What they’re saying:
“We’re trying to keep prices down. Here at port – we had a large allotment – then it went to Illinois, we had an allotment there that closed,” Davis said. “And now it’s coming straight from the mine – 10 hours away.”
Davis said storms across the country have contributed to the shortage, with municipalities receiving priority access to salt supplies.
“We had some really intense ice storms and major storms that went through the heartland of our country that they are just not prepared,” said Davis.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said the shortage is a good reminder to evaluate how much salt is being used and to consider ways to reduce usage to protect waterways.
“If you use less, you’re still going to allow people to be safe and protect the environment at the same time,” said Shannon Haydin, stormwater section manager for the Wisconsin DNR.

Haydin said excess salt use sends chloride into lakes, groundwater and streams, where it can become toxic to aquatic life.
“We do have streams in southeastern Wisconsin that are as salty as the ocean,” said Haydin.
Dig deeper:
The DNR said it is not opposed to salt use altogether, noting it plays an important role in ice management and public safety, but officials hope people will think twice before using too much.
“You can reuse it and it’ll save you money and help save the environment,” said Haydin.
The DNR recommends measuring salt carefully, saying an 8-ounce coffee mug should be enough to salt about 10 sidewalk squares.
