Coming off a 4-2 defeat in Syracuse Wednesday night, the St. John’s IceCaps were on the hunt for two big points in their push for the final North Division playoff spot.
Opposing them were the basement-dwelling Rochester Americans, who looked to play the role of spoiler. The IceCaps were without the services of top defender Zach Redmond and utility forward Markus Eisenschmid, while Anthony Camara and David Broll were healthy scratches. Charlie Lindgren started in net for St. John’s looking to repeat last week’s flawless performance, while squaring off once more with Linus Ullmark.
