With two losses on the week, the Syracuse Crunch drop out of first place in the North Division as the start to the new year is a bit bumpy. The Crunch were a little inconsistent as they sandwiched one of their most complete games (the 3-1 win against Bridgeport) with two of their more lackluster efforts. The offense has struggled a bit out of the gate and hasn’t been able to mask the issues that they have with the penalty kill on home ice.
