The St. John’s IceCaps completed their best month of March in five seasons under head coach Sylvain Lefebvre, after earning a total of 16 points in 13 games.
For this reason, they are in the midst of a very tight race for post-season participation, competing with the Albany Devils and Utica Comets for the final two playoff spots in the North Division. It appears as though the Syracuse Crunch and Toronto Marlies are breaking away from the pack, leaving the other three team to slug it out.
There are just seven opportunities in the month of April for the IceCaps to solidify their position, and they’ll have to start the final stretch without their starting goaltender, Charlie Lindgren, who is on recall with the Montreal Canadiens.
