St. John's IceCaps News Release
SYRACUSE, NY - The IceCaps came from behind with five unanswered goals to down the Crunch 5-1 on Saturday night at the War Memorial Arena in Syracuse, N.Y.
Crunch's Adam Erne opened up the scoring with a tally seven minutes into the first, but the IceCaps rallied hard to score five goals for the win. Rookies Travis Brown and Alexandre Ranger both potted their first AHL professional goals - Brown's being the game-winner.
