The reinforcements come at a key time, seeing as the AHL roster has been devastated by the endless stream of call-ups, however they’re too late to save the season, since the IceCaps have been eliminated from the playoffs. It was the fifth season in a row that Montreal’s AHL affiliate missed the cutoff.
