This weekend, the IceCaps (5-4-1) are set to get reacquainted with a familiar rival in the Marlies (6-1-1) as they host them for a pair of games. Given how disinterested the crowd has been so far this season, this could have the feel of a couple of road contests for St. John's. (Based on previous game's +/- data) Leipsic - Smith - Lindberg Leivo - Gauthier - Kapanen Timashov - Johnsson - Rychel Michalek - Laich - Greening Dermott - Loov Campbell - Nielsen Holl - Wrenn Sparks Andrighetto - Terry - Friberg Hudon - Audette - Scherbak Matteau - de la Rose - McCarron Broll - Eisenschmid - Farnham Barberio - Didier Samuelsson - Johnston Racine - Lernout Lindgren Puck drop is at 6:00 PM EST on Saturday and 2:30 on Sunday AM 930 has the call.

The home stand continues for the IceCaps (3-4-1) as they host the Comets (2-5-0) who currently hold the lowest points percentage in the AHL. The Habs are likely to call up at least one player prior to puck drop (I'm guessing Barberio so I've pulled him from the projected lineup). (Based on previous game's +/- data) Carcone - Chaput - Hamilton Bancks - Valk - Grenier Laplante - Kunyk - Archibald Hulak - DeSimone - Rendulic Negrin - Subban Billins - Shields Sautner - McEneny Demko Andrighetto - Terry - Carr Hudon - McCarron - Scherbak Matteau - Audette - Farnham Broll - MacMillan - Gregoire Samuelsson - Lernout Hanley - Johnston Parisi - Racine Lindgren Puck drop is at 6:00 PM EST for both games, AM 930 has the call.

After a lengthy road trip to start the season, the IceCaps (2-3-1) return for their home opener against division rival Rochester (3-2-0). Jacob de la Rose won't be available this weekend with a fractured finger while Max Friberg (undisclosed injury) is questionable. I'm assuming Carr will be available after being sent down but a lot of that depends on whether or not he was notified last night in the hopes of catching an early enough flight. (Based on previous game's +/- data) Carrier - Catenacci - Bailey Schneider - O'Reilly - Baptise Rodrigues - Nylander - Cornel Vaive - Vail - Kea Falk - Austin Burgdoerfer - Fedun Bennett - Strachan Kasdorf (Guesses based on injuries/roster movement and last game's lines) Hudon - McCarron - Andrighetto Carr - Terry - Friberg* Matteau - Audette - Gregoire Broll - MacMillan - Scherbak Hanley - Barberio Samuelsson - Lernout Racine - Johnston Lindgren Puck drop is at 6:00 PM EST, AM 930 has the call.

The first road trip for the IceCaps (1-3-1) comes to an end today as they travel to Hartford to take on the Wolf Pack (2-1-0), the team they opened up the season against at the beginning of the trip. Michael McCarron is eligible to return to the lineup after serving his two game suspension. Andrighetto - McCarron - Terry Farnham - de la Rose - Friberg Matteau - Audette - Gregoire Hudon - MacMillan - Scherbak Hanley - Barberio Samuelsson - Lernout Parisi - Didier Lindgren Tambellini - McRae - Brown Glass - Hrivik - Fontaine Kovacs - Nieves - Jensen Carey - Fogarty - Stromwall Graves - Paliotta Andersson - Summers Bodie - Gilmour Skapski Puck drop is at 5:00 PM EST, AM 930 has the call.

After Charlie Lindgren stole the IceCaps (1-3-0) their first victory of the season last night, they travel to Springfield to take on the Thunderbirds (2-1-0) for their first home game in franchise history. The team plans to carry three goalies for the time being so it's likely that one of Zach Fucale or Yann Danis will get the start in goal. Andrighetto - Terry - Friberg Hudon - Audette - Scherbak Matteau - de la Rose - Eisenschmid Farnham - MacMillan - Broll Barberio - Lernout Hanley - Johnston Samuelsson - Racine Fucale Greco - Sutter - Shaw Hunt - Thompson - Black Bozon - Balisy - Horvat Bukarts - Lammikko Kindl - Regner Weegar - McCoshen Brown - Downing Acolatse Berra Puck drop is at 7:05 PM EST, AM 930 has the call.

After losing to them last weekend, the IceCaps (0-3-0) will look to exact some revenge this time around against Providence (1-2-0). They'll have to do so without the services of Michael McCarron who will serve the first game of his suspension for a head-butting incident against the Bruins on Sunday. Andrighetto - Terry - Friberg Hudon - Audette - Scherbak Matteau - de la Rose - Eisenschmid Farnham - MacMillan - Broll Barberio - Lernout Hanley - Johnston Samuelsson - Racine Lindgren DeBrusk - Czarnik - Mueller Szwarz - Bildh - Randell Hargrove - Cave - Simpson Rinaldo - Kuraly - Bakker Grant - Grzelcyk Bartkowski - Arnesson Cross - Casto Subban Puck drop is at 7:05 PM EST, AM 930 has the call.

The IceCaps (0-2-0) will look to salvage something out of a tough weekend as they take on Providence (0-2-0) to close out this 3-in-3 stretch. Looking at what the Bruins have in their bottom six, there may be some rough stuff in this one. Hudon - McCarron - Terry Matteau - de la Rose - Friberg Eisenschmid - Audette - Scherbak Farnham - MacMillan - Gregoire Barberio - Johnston Hanley - Lernout Racine - Samuelsson Fucale (Line combos are based on +/- data/guesses.) DeBrusk - Mueller - Simpson Bildh - Kuraly - Hickman Hargrove - Cave- Randell Rinaldo - Bakker - Szwarz Grant - Grzelcyk Bartkowski - Arnesson Cross - Casto McIntyre Puck drop is at 3:05 PM EST, AM 930 has the call.

After a tough loss last night, the IceCaps (0-1-0) will look to get their first win of the season tonight as they travel to Albany to take on the Devils (1-0-0). Ex-Devil Stefan Matteau will serve the final game of his two game suspension tonight. (These are the lines that started last night but by the end they were all over the place so they may start different tonight.) Hudon - McCarron - Terry Friberg - de la Rose - Farnham Eisenschmid - Audette - Scherbak Broll - MacMillan - Gregoire Barberio - Johnston Hanley - Lernout Parisi - Didier Fucale (Line combos are based on +/- data/guesses.)

The IceCaps will begin their second and final season as Montreal's affiliate tonight as they travel to Hartford to kick off a 3-in-3 road trip (thanks, schedule makers...). Stefan Matteau will not be available as he is serving the first game of a two game suspension he incurred while on a conditioning stint with New Jersey last year. Hudon - McCarron - Scherbak Friberg - de la Rose - Farnham Eisenschmid - Audette - Terry Broll - MacMillan - Gregoire Samuelsson - Barberio Racine - Lernout Hanley - Johnston Fucale (Line combos are straight up guesses) Tambellini - Hrivik - Jensen Stromwall - Nieves - Brown Kovacs - McRae - Joly Carey - Fogarty - Glass Bodie - Paliotta Graves - Andersson Gilmour - Hughes Hellberg Puck drop is at 7:15 PM EST, AM 930 has the call.

The IceCaps are playing a three game exhibition series against the Marlies over the coming days in preparation for the start of their season (which, if you're wondering, is the 14th). Here's the schedule: Schedule Thursday, October 6 7:30 NDT Stephenville Dome Friday, October 7 7:30 NDT Corner Brook Civic Centre Sunday, October 9 2:00 NDT Gander Community Centre Training Camp Roster I think last year, AM 930 had the call, albeit with all sorts of technical difficulties that took into the regular season to iron out. I'm not sure if they are this season though.
