The Syracuse Crunch had their first of five three-in-three weekends of the season and they walked away with four of the possible six points that were available. More importantly they were the better team for the majority of the periods this weekend, something that hasn’t been the case for most of the season.
They only surrendered seven goals over the weekend (not bad considering they seven goals in back-to-back games a week ago), and for the most part were more the type of team we have been used to seeing over the Ben Groulx Era. It helped that they were facing a couple of teams in Bridgeport and Binghamton that aren’t off to the best of starts, but sometimes that’s what a team needs to get back on track.
