In all of this mess, Andrey Makarov got his first shutout of the season against the Lake Erie Monsters on April 10. That's the shining star in what was a disaster of a run for the Rochester squad. In the nine games since we discussed what needed to happen for the Amerks to make the playoffs, the team spiraled out of control.
