After compiling a 5-2-1 record through eight appearances for the Rockford IceHogs, goaltender Collin Delia has been named January's Fuel Grad of the Month, presented by Marian University Indianapolis.
The 23-year-old rookie has been a factor in Rockford's recent resurgence, leading the IceHogs to at least a point in each of his last six starts, going 5-0-1 over that span. Overall in January, Delia posted five wins along with a 2.47 goals against average and a .921 save percentage.
Delia started the 2017-18 season in Indy, recording a 1-7-2 record in 10 appearances, picking up his first professional victory with a 37-save performance in Florida on Oct. 27. The Chicago Blackhawks reassigned the netminder to the IceHogs on Nov. 10, where he has compiled a 6-4-1 mark alongside a 2.81 goals against average and a .893 save percentage in 11 AHL contests.
