BINGHAMTON, NY - The St. John's IceCaps saw their season-high 10-game point streak end Saturday night in a 4-1 loss to the Binghamton Senators at the Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena.
The loss marked the first regulation defeat since losing 4-1 to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins nearly a month ago on November 6th.
