The Syracuse Crunch had three games in three days this weekend and they made the most of it picking up five out of the possible six points. Their strong play moved them back into a virtual tie with Utica for third place in the North Division. After losing their first game of the weekend in a shootout they took the next two with the help of newly acquired goaltender Eddie Pasquale. The veteran stopped 49 of 53 shots in his two victories.
That was the good news. The bad news: Anthony Cirelli Sunday’s game injured and did not return after blocking a shot in the second period.
