Saturday’s 1-3 Loss vs Worcester

With Saturday’s game coming quickly after traveling for multiple days through snowstorms and having a sick goaltender play the effort was not worse than expected. Connor Hellebuyck tied the franchise record for most consecutive starts and newcomer Joel Armia played his first IceCaps game earning 2 shots on goal and a +1. The hardest working player was Julien Brouillette.

What a crazy game for the IceCaps. Connor Hellebuyck started his 14th consecutive game setting a new franchise record but only played the first two periods where the IceCaps were down 4-0 with 20 minutes left. Olkinuora came in to start the third the the IceCaps scored 4 unanswered goals to tie up the game before scoring in overtime to secure the two points. Hardest working player was Eric O’Dell.

The schedule this upcoming week isn’t too friendly for the IceCaps as they play a back-to-back-to-back series (massive schedule loss) while on the road and against two teams that are much stronger in terms of possession statistics.
