Friday, April 29: WBS 1 @ Syracuse 4
The WBS Penguins entered their final two road games of the season with nothing left to play for, locked into fourth place in the Atlantic Division and having their opening round series with fifth place Hershey already scheduled. However, their opponents for their second-to-last game of the season, Syracuse, still had some work to do. The Crunch could clinch 2nd place in the North Division and home-ice advantage in their best-of-5 division semifinal series with one point in their final two games.
It perhaps wasn’t a surprise, then, that Syracuse prevailed on Friday 4-1.
