Game Report

The Portland Pirates certainly can boast that they have the IceCaps’ number.  They closed out the season series with a sweep against St. John’s. And each game seemed to unfold with a high number of goals against the IceCaps.

The visitors came out a little stronger than they had been on Wednesday night, but still without the right formula to solve goaltender Mike McKenna.  To make matters worse, Markus Eisenschmid took a big hit early in the first period and went off the ice accompanied by the trainer. He did not return to the game.

Bud Holloway returned to the lineup after missing a couple of weeks with injury. He made his mark in the second period by potting a power play goal to tie the game.

But in the third period, yet again, the Pirates ramped things up and Rocco Grimaldi scored a pair of goals along with one by Rob Schremp.  Mark MacMillan snuck one past McKenna with just two seconds left in the game but it was too little too late.

The IceCaps head right to Hartford for a Saturday night matchup against the Wolf Pack to finish out the road trip. Morgan Ellis and Michael McCarron will then head to Syracuse to take part in the 2016 AHL All-Star Classic.

Game Report

After returning to St. John’s from a five-game road trip, the IceCaps had most of the week to prepare for the start of their next home stand with the Portland Pirates coming into town.  But the team that skated onto the Mile One Centre ice Friday night looked like they were tired.  Play moved slowly for St. John’s and they consistently looked unorganized and sloppy.

The Pirates pressed hard in the opening period, getting 20 shots on Zach Fucale with just six shots coming back their way from St. John’s.  Fucale mostly held his own throughout the night, receiving little to no support from the team in front of him.

The IceCaps allowed members of the Pirates to have banner nights: Brent Regner tallied three assists, while Rob Schremp racked up a goal and two assists.

Bud Holloway potted the only goal for the home team on a power play in the second period, assisted by Morgan Ellis and Lucas Lessio.

In roster news, Dustin Tokarski was traded to Anaheim in exchange for Swedish forward Max Friberg.  Friberg is expected to play in St. John’s Saturday night, when the IceCaps take on Portland once again to finish out the back-to-back series.
