Crunch Corner: The Syracuse Crunch are moving up in the standings despite trade deadline uncertainty

The jumbled nature of the AHL schedule seems to lead to streaks. With a ton of back-to-back games each weekend, if a team is going well, that tends to carry over. If they’re struggling, that also seems to continue. Luckily for the Syracuse Crunch and their fans, the team is currently on one of their hot streaks.

Unlike some of their earlier streaks this season, the wins are coming thanks to the defense instead of the offense. The Crunch are 7-4 this month (and are on a 4-game winning streak) but haven’t scored more than three goals in any of those games.
