The Aeros defeated the Rockford IceHogs tonight by the score of 4-1 -- yes, 4-1 again -- to win their fifth straight game and move into sole possession (for the moment) of first place in the AHL's West Division.
The Aeros actually trailed in this game as Rockford had the 1-0 lead after the first period. Then Nate Prosser and Jean-Michel Daoust scored in the second period and Patrick O'Sullivan and Carson McMillan scored in the third period. Matt Hackett got the start in goal and stopped 24 of 25 shots as the Aeros record improved to 31-19-1-3 (66 points).
The Aeros are off tomorrow while they travel to Peoria to play the Rivermen on Friday night. They then "host" Peoria on Sunday afternoon in St. Paul. The Rivermen are currently tied for third place with 64 points and a record of 30-18-2-2, so with any luck, the Aeros can put a little distance between them and Peoria this weekend.
SOME MISCELLANEOUS NOTES:
1. The Aeros are 13-2-0-1 since January 1.
2. The Aeros win, their fifth straight, is their best win streak of the season.
3. The assists on the night came from Justin Falk, Jarod Palmer, Patrick O'Sullivan, Nate Prosser, Chad Rau, and Colton Gillies.
4. Max Noreau was stratched on the basis of his having been a bit banged up in last night's game against Texas.

WTG AEROS! Guys Are Really Doing GREAT! Hope this momentum keeps going! I would LOVE to be able to see them get to the playoffs.So I know wellman is out because of an injury, but what is up with Kalus and Buck? Are they injured? I HOPE MAX IS OK, heard the game was really PHYSICAL @ CEDAR PARK. THANKS for any info you can give in regards to Kalus and Buck. I think they are great players and love Bucks energy on the ice.
I'm honestly not sure re Kalus and Buck. It's possible they're just the odd men out since the rest of the forwards are playing such good hockey at the moment.
Yeah, they're healthy scratches.
