Why you should care: The St. John’s IceCaps have lost only five games on the road this season, which is fewest in the AHL this season. The Pens are only 12-12-2-2 at home. If the Pens do not play a sound game tonight against a very stout St. John’s team they will lose out on gaining on idle Norfolk.
