After a pair of 4-3 overtime wins over the weekend, the AHL’s Rochester Americans have a chance to close out their playoff series against the Utica Comets on Tuesday night.
The two teams have battled hard throughout the three games so far. Utica (the New Jersey Devils’ AHL affiliate) took game one by a score of 6-3 after capitalizing on a worn-out Amerks squad, but the Buffalo Sabres’ affiliate team did well to battle back in game two and head home on equal footing.
JJ Peterka was the star of Saturday’s show, recording a hat trick, including the overtime game-winning goal.
