After a gruesome pair of games last week, the Crunch skated in to the weekend looking to get back on track. Friday night marked the beginning of the team’s first 3-and-3 of the season. With the recall of Cory Conacher to the Lightning, and a few lingering injuries, it was obvious that the string of contests would be far from easy.
Friday night the Crunch traveled down to the southern tier for their first tilt of the season against former Cruncher Mike Blunden and the Binghamton Senators. Syracuse jumped over the B-Sens early in the first period when Adam Erne skated in alone and snapped home a wrister past second-year pro goaltender Matt O’Connor.
