After a back and forth affair on Friday night, which featured 11 total goals, the rematch between the St. John’s IceCaps and Springfield Thunderbirds was much more subdued. Charlie Lindgren got the start in net, and opposite him for the Thunderbirds was Reto Berra.
While Friday night was all about the offence, and continuous string of leads gained and lost, Saturday’s contest didn’t pick up until late in the third period.
The primary highlights from the first two frames are a pair of fights featuring Springfield’s Ed Wittchow, who threw down with both David Broll and Jeremy Grégoire.
