3rd Star: D Adam Clendening, Rockford (AHL)

The Line: 2GP, 1G, 2A

The Blackhawks’ AHL affiliate opened their regular-season schedule with a weekend split, with the second-year defenseman notching points in both contests. Clendening assisted on Rockford’s only goal of the game on Oct. 5, before collecting a goal and an assist the next night against Texas.

Honorable Mention: G Kent Simpson, Rockford (AHL); C Mark McNeill, Rockford (AHL)

Simpson was pressed into action early in the first game of the season after Antti Raanta hobbled off with a leg injury just 5:36 into his North American debut. Simpson picked up the slack immediately, making 49 saves on 51 shots in a 3-1 loss in San Antonio. The next night, Simpson collected 41 saves on 44 shots as the IceHogs won 4-3 over the Texas Stars.

McNeill broke out in his second game of the season, notching a goal and an assist, including the game-winner late in the second period.
