This weekend marks the end of the AHL regular season and the St. John’s IceCaps are looking to earn a playoff spot as they head into their final two games at Mile One Centre this Friday and Saturday night.
Currently, their magic number sits at two points. This means that any combination of one of either an IceCaps win or a Utica Comets loss will see St. John’s clinch a spot in the playoffs.

Their opponent will be their truest rival. The Toronto Marlies, a team that sits atop the North Division by a single point over the Syracuse Crunch, will be looking to finalize their conquest of the group.
