ST. JOHN'S - Charles Hudon sniped a pair and added an assist as the St. John's IceCaps blew out the Utica Comets 7-1 Sunday at Mile One Centre.
Morgan Ellis, Nikita Scherbak and Michael McCarron all notched a goal and an assist. Ryan Johnston, who was reassigned from Montreal prior to the game along with fellow blueliners Joel Hanley and Darren Dietz, had two helpers and a team-best +6 rating.
Bud Holloway also picked up a pair of assists to break the IceCaps' franchise record for points in a season with 60, previously held by Jason Jaffray (59).
