The All-Star break is over and the Syracuse Crunch’s march to the playoffs is back on with a full slate of games the rest of the way. In order for them to once again reach the playoffs, they’re going to need their rookies to keep contributing and their veterans leading the way.
One of the veterans they are going to be relying on is Carter Verhaeghe. In his second season with the Crunch, the winger/center is having a career year. He has 20 goals, the first time he’s broached that mark in his career, and 28 assists, second on the team only to Cory Conacher.
