The Syracuse Crunch met up with their I-90 rivals, the Rochester Americans, for the final time this season, and put an exclamation point on a dominant season series.
The hometown team controlled play from the moment the puck hit the ice on Saturday night, jumping to a quick 1-0 lead off a strong individual effort from Erik Condra. The veteran forward capitalized off a Rochester mishap at their own blue-line, walked into the high slot and fired a wrist-shot past Amerks starting goaltender John Muse. It was the first of many for Condra on the evening with assists coming from Matthew Peca and Mathieu Brodeur.
