The
Statistics
The IceCaps
played 2 games this week, earning 2 of 4 points as they make their final playoff
push over the last 10 games. They may
have won a game but all of their underlying performance metrics have
declined. Their shot and goal
differences have increased while their possession statistics have dropped. Even their luck-based statistics such as PDO
and their Special-Teams Index saw a decline – not promising if they have to
fight and claw to make up the 9 point difference between them and 8th
place.

Friday’s
5-4 OT Win vs Manchester
[ Highlights ] [ St. John’s Recap ]
In the
first game against Manchester the IceCaps outplayed the Monarch and had a
little bit of puck luck on their side as they were ultimately able to walk away
the winners. Hellebuyck had a rare off
game where he was a bit rusty while the Monarchs managed to capitalize on three
of their seven power play opportunities – definitely a way to make your victory much harder to
obtain.

Saturday’s
1-4 Loss vs Manchester
[ Highlights ] [ St. John’s Recap ]
The next
night these two teams went right back at it but the IceCaps could not keep up
their momentum. St. John’s was outplayed
and were beaten to a tune of 4 to 1. The
IceCaps did a similar maneuver to every other AHL team where they like to ride
the same goalie in back to backs. Connor
Hellebuyck started the game but was pulled after he allowed 4 goals in 18 shots
earning a Really Bad Start (the statistical opposite of a quality start). Peter Budaj played the last half of the game
in relief and was a perfect 18 for 18.
