Coming into the back-to-back set with a five-game losing skid, and about to face a Syracuse Crunch team that they were tied with for fifth in their division, the St. John's IceCaps needed a win. With concerted efforts on both nights, they got not one, but two victories.
On Tuesday night, despite being outshot 39-21, the IceCaps stayed disciplined, focused, and played as a team. And it worked.
Both Gabriel Dumont and Morgan Ellis picked up a goal and an assist, Michael McCarron and Nikita Scherbak each hit the back of the net, and Bud Holloway added three assists to his tally.
