It wasn’t the greatest week for the Syracuse Crunch as they lost both games this week, taking home only one point, and falling to last in the North Division. There is a lot of offense on this team, led by Alex Barre-Boulet, Gabriel Fortier, and newcomer Aleksi Heponiemi, but the team defense is lagging and at the moment mistakes are costing them mightily.
In the two games, the Crunch started slowly against Rochester and couldn’t find enough offense to make up for their mistakes, and then struggled lost a tight game against the Penguins on a power play goal in the third.
