The St. John’s IceCaps continue their playoff push this weekend as they host the Hershey Bears on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
Just three points separate the first and fifth place teams in the North Division. Every single point is crucial to create separation for the IceCaps as they try to stay with the pack, and finish in the top four to qualify for the post-season.
The IceCaps have taken points in eight of their last ten games. They severely hurt themselves this past week, however, by choking up both third period leads to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
