Week two of this road trip will see the IceCaps (27-24-8) take on the division-leading Crunch (29-19-10) in two of three games. (There's a game in between their two matchups but I'm not going to do separate GDT's for both Syracuse games...) Hudon - Terry - Scherbak Matteau - de la Rose - Carr Veilleux - Audette - Friberg Broll - MacMillan - Gregoire Hanley - Redmond Lowe - Johnston Parisi - Lernout Lindgren (Line combos are based on +/- data although they could be getting a few players back this week.)

AM 930 has the call.

For the second time on this road trip, the IceCaps (27-25-8) are in Rochester to take on the Americans (24-32-2). Hudon - Terry - Scherbak Matteau - de la Rose - Carr Veilleux - Audette - Friberg Broll - Farnham - Camara Hanley - Redmond Lowe - Parisi Brouillette - Johnston Lindgren (Line combos are based on +/- data.) Kennedy - Dupuy - Fasching Schneider - Grant - Nylander Muzito-Begenda - Bonis - Vaive Lane - Cornel Bodie - Fedun Nelson - Strachan Mullen - Austin Bennett Ullmark Puck drop is at 7:05 PM EST. AM 930 has the call.

The IceCaps (26-23-8) will wrap up their latest 3-in-3 run this weekend as they take on the Marlies (29-23-5) for a pair of games. Toronto sits three points ahead of St. John's for third in the North Division which makes this a huge couple of games if they want to have any shot at moving up the rest of the way (and Utica is right behind the IceCaps for the final spot as well). Hudon - Terry - Carr Matteau - de la Rose - Friberg Farnham - Audette - Scherbak Broll - MacMillan - Gregoire Hanley - Redmond Lowe - Johnston Brouillette - Lernout Danis Moore - Greening - Griffith Timashov - Kalinin - Kapanen Rychel - Gauthier - Johnsson Letourneau-Leblond - Laich - Camarenesi Campbell - Holl Dermott - Oleksy Nielsen - Wrenn Bibeau Puck drop is at 5:00 PM EST Saturday and 3 PM EST on Sunday. AM 930 has the call for both games. Saturday's game is also available on TSN2 (although you might want to watch on mute - it's the Leafs TV feed and their PBP guy is tough to listen to).

Buoyed by the fact that they didn't lose anyone from their lineup last game at the trade deadline, the IceCaps (25-23-7-1) start another lengthy road trip (and a 3-in-3 stretch) in Rochester tonight for a matchup against the Americans (22-31-2). (No word yet on whether Carr will be ready to return.) Hudon - Terry - Scherbak Matteau - de la Rose - Friberg Veilleux - Audette - Farnham Broll - MacMillan - Gregoire Hanley - Redmond Lowe - Johnston Brouillette - Lernout Lindgren (Line combos are based on +/- data.) Schneider - O'Reilly - Baptiste Dupuy - Kennedy - Karacebek Bonis - Nylander - Fasching Muzito-Begenda - Grant - Cornel Burgdoerfer - Fedun Nelson - Geiger Mullen - Bennett Muse Puck drop is at 7:05 PM EST. AM 930 has the call.

As usual, we'll have a GDT for the deadline to talk about the deals league-wide. Any Montreal deals will get their own thread of course.

Another long home stand comes to an end (the Brier will be in town shortly) as the 4th place IceCaps (24-23-7) begin a crucial two game set against the 2nd place Devils (30-23-2). (Line combos are based on +/- data.) Gibbons - Coleman - Lappin Camper - Quenneville - Sexton Thomson - Kujawinski - Rooney Gazdic - Pelley - Straka Auvitu - Scarlett Mozik - Stollery MacWilliam - Jacobs Blackwood No word yet on whether Carr will be ready to return. Hudon - Terry - Scherbak Matteau - de la Rose - Friberg Veilleux - Audette - Farnham Broll - MacMillan - Gregoire Hanley - Redmond Lowe - Johnston Parisi - Lernout Lindgren Puck drop is at 6:00 PM EST for both games. AM 930 has the call.

After another underwhelming start to their home stand, the IceCaps (23-22-7) will look to get back in the win column against the Crunch (25-16-9), the team with the top points percentage in the North Division. (Line combos are based on +/- data and a couple of guesses with Conacher now up with Tampa.) Erne - Morin - Gourde Halmo - Darcy - Condra Vermin - Peca - Ikonen Lynch Koekkoek - Brodeur Comrie - Taormina Walcott - Masin Racine - Thomas Gudlevskis Hudon - Terry - Scherbak Carr - Audette - Friberg Matteau - de la Rose - Farnham Veilleux - MacMillan - Camara Hanley - Redmond Brouillette - Johnston Parisi - Lernout Lindgren Puck drop is at 6:00 PM EST on Saturday and 2:30 PM EST on Sunday. AM 930 has the call. Saturday's game will be televised on RDS in tape delay beginning at 7:30 PM EST.

Armed with arguably their deepest lineup since the beginning of the season, the IceCaps (23-21-6) open up a crucial six game home stand with a pair of games against the Senators (20-25-3). (Line combos are based on +/- data.) Akeson - Varone - Rodewald McCormick - Paul - Bailey Krushelnyski - Nehring - Blunden Perron - Flanagan - Hagel Englund - Harpur Carlisle - Kostka Rumble - Lepine Hammond (Lines are guesses since McCarron/Carr have been sent back since their last game.) Hudon - Terry - Carr Scherbak - McCarron - Audette Farnham - de la Rose - Friberg Matteau - MacMillan - Gregoire Hanley - Redmond Brouillette - Johnston Parisi - Lernout Lindgren Puck drop is at 6:00 PM EST for both games. AM 930 has the call. Wednesday's game will be televised on RDS in tape delay beginning at 7:30 PM EST.

Would be a nice one to win going into week off. With Gallagher back, now have zero injury excuses. How will Gallagher look and should he even be playing if not 100%? Will let Ron Reusch provide pre-game stats and trivia. http://thereuschblog.com/?p=43492 Happy 23rd to Alex G.!

St. John's road trip comes to an end over the next couple of days as the IceCaps (22-20-5-1) are in Lehigh Valley for a pair of games against the Phantoms (31-13-2), who sit second overall in the AHL. Fortunately for St. John's, Lehigh Valley's top scorer just got recalled a few hours ago which is a nice break (but they still have a way more impressive lineup...). Hudon - Terry - Scherbak Matteau - de la Rose - Friberg Veilleux - Audette - Farnham Broll - MacMillan - Gregoire Hanley - Redmond Brouillette - Lernout Parisi - Johnston Danis Carey - Miele - Conner Knight - Laughton - Zengerle Martel - Gordon - Aube-Kubel Fazleev - McCarthy - Bardreau Hagg - Brennan Morin - Sanheim O'Neill - Alt Stolarz Puck drop is at 7:05 PM EST for both games. AM 930 has the call.
