The St. John’s IceCaps were in Toronto over the weekend to play the North Division-leading Marlies in a back-to-back set to finish off their second six-game road trip of the season.
On Saturday night, the IceCaps edged the Marlies 2-1 in a very close game. That win can mainly be attributed to goaltender Yann Danis, who played his best game since joining the IceCaps. He became the first goaltender other than Charlie Lindgren to register a win for the IceCaps this season, stopping 26 of 27 shots, and earning the first star of the game.
The IceCaps conceded the first goal early in the game on a Marlies power play when Brett Lernout was called for interference.
