Grand Rapids — The Grand Rapids Griffins hope history repeats itself.
The Griffins struck first in the AHL Calder Cup Finals on Friday — and that’s usually a good thing this time of year — with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Syracuse.
Tomas Nosek scored his second goal of the game, this one on the power play with 13.9 seconds left, giving the Griffins the victory.
Nosek was stationed at the side of the net, and snuck a shot past Crunch goalie Mike McKenna after Tyler Bertuzzi (two assists) got the puck to the crease.
