With the Rochester Americans season officially wrapped up, and locker clean out day over and done, it’s time to reflect back on the season. It was an interesting one, filled with injuries and many notable call-ups for the Rochester Americans. Sam Reinhart made his AHL debut and averaged a point-per-game in his small sample size. Goaltending was a conundrum again, and in the end, the Amerks finished 14th in the conference.
Unlike last season, it wasn’t such a unique year for the Amerks. They didn’t participate in an outdoor game or in the Spengler Cup, but they did play in 16 different arenas, facing 15 of 29 other AHL teams.
