The Crunch came in to Wednesday night’s contest at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre Scranton having lost their last three games in a row. With one less PTO on their roster, and two veteran scorers back in their lineup (Vermin, Halmo), the Crunch roster actually looked as if it belonged in the league.
Goaltender Kristers Gudlevskis saw his first action since getting beaten up on Friday against Binghamton. At the other end of the ice, Tristan Jarry patrolled the WBS goal-crease.
The Crunch started this contest in a surprising manner by taking it to the Penguins’ defense and pelting Jarry with pucks early and often.
