It was a bit of a mixed week for the Syracuse Crunch. Their winning streak came to a halt and they only picked up three points, but those three points did come at the expense of the division-leading Utica Comets. However, the Comets also picked up three points so it was a bit of a wash.
Still, overall, it was a pretty good week for the Crunch as they played well enough to beat Utica in both games, but had to settle for an overtime loss and overtime win. Overall, the strong play that has marked their return from their mini-COVID pause over the holidays continued and the team is starting to play to their identity.
