The St. John’s IceCaps eight-game home stand continued this past weekend as they played host to the Wilkes Barre-Scranton Penguins.
Saturday: Penguins 6-2 IceCaps
Michael McCarron was absent from the game after picking up an injury in the team’s previous game against Syracuse. McCarron also missed Sunday’s matinee.
A former Canadiens draft pick opened the scoring on Saturday night. Unfortunately, it was Wilkes Barre forward Danny Kristo. Kristo’s wrist shot beat Charlie Lindgren to put the Penguins up 1-0.
The scoreline wasn’t the only negative for the IceCaps. Leading scorer, Nikita Scherbak, sustained an injury following a hit and did not return.
