Welcome to
the first installment of the IceCaps Recap where we review all the weekly
activity of the St. John’s IceCaps the AHL affiliation of the Winnipeg
Jets. Similar to the Future NHEhlers
weekly article we will review all the stats and news we can find for your
IceCaps.
This week
the IceCaps walked away with 3 of 4 points thanks to a 4-1 victory and a
shootout loss.  Continue past the jump to
read what went down.

The
Statistics

This year
it seems the IceCaps depth in St. John’s is not very good. They have been outshot by 200 in the first
half of the season and they are ranked near the bottom of the league in terms
of estimated fenwick percentage. 
Their luck
does not appear to be helping the team either. Their PDO is unlucky. Their
goaltending is holding up as they are receiving about league average save
percentage while their team shooting percentage is a full point below average.
The IceCaps have generally been on a downward trend all season, though more recently they have seen some upward regression. Interesting to see the the massive drop in production around games 24/25 which also associates with the same time that Ben Chiarot and Julien Brouillette were recalled to Winnipeg.

  • Connor
    Hellebuyck is currently 9th in the league in Save Percentage

The Transactions

  • Goaltender Jussi Olkinuoroa was
    reassigned to St. John’s from the ECHL
  • T.J. Galiardi was recalled and
    returned to St. John’s in a span of a few hours.

The Schedule

The IceCaps
have a heavy week with 4 games over the next two days including two
back-to-backs series.  That’s the life of
playing on the Rock.  Both these teams
are better in possession estimates than the Ice Caps so it will be difficult to
earn all 8 points.
