The St. John's IceCaps concluded their final road trip of the regular season on Tuesday against the Toronto Marlies, and now wind down another disappointing year with a six-game homestand. Although not mathematically eliminated from the post-season, even if they were to win their remaining six games, the IceCaps would need to count on Syracuse, Rochester, Portland, and Hartford to all have an epic collapse.
The IceCaps can realistically not expect to qualify any higher than the final playoff spot in the North Division, which will be won by the team with the highest points percentage, and that includes a potential crossover team from the Atlantic Division.
