The Syracuse Crunch would rather be playing competitive games, but if there was a time to have an unscheduled week of practice, last week was a good time. Due to their opponents, Rochester and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, entering COVID protocols, all three games for the Crunch were postponed until later in the season. Having lost 7 of their last 8 and struggling to find offense, a chance to reset things a bit was most welcome.
The AHL’s Eastern Conference teams have been scrambling a bit for the last couple of weeks as games have been postponed in both the Atlantic and North Divisions.
