The Syracuse Crunch started another week with a shootout win over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, but couldn’t extend their winning streak to three following a 4-2 loss at the hands of the Rochester Americans. Cole Schwindt and Serron Noel each scored their first career AHL goals in Games 8 and 9, respectively. Both were 1-1 game-tying goals. Spencer Martin was busy, stopping 53 of 58 across both games for a .914 save percentage. He was good, but the power plays against really hurt the team in the second game. The team took ten penalties across both games (five each). They kept the Penguins from scoring with the man-advantage, but gave up two goals to Rochester in the loss.
