The Syracuse Orange will take on the Albany Great Danes at 3 PM on Saturday at the Carrier Dome. This will be the third matchup between these two programs since the start of 2016. Albany is coming into the game after losing some big pieces since last year, including John Maloney, Seth Oakes, and Blaze Riorden. That being said, the Orange are not 100% either, with the recent announcement that Preseason All-ACC defenseman Nick Mellen will miss the entirety of the season.
While the games between these two have often been explosive scoring episodes, Saturday’s game has the potential to be a little more subdued with so many big time scorers not on the rosters any longer.
