A very confident Syracuse Crunch team (19-8-2) welcomes a slumping Springfield Thunderbirds (15-11-2-3) into the Onondaga County War Memorial Arena on Saturday night. Syracuse is coming off a 10-1 thrashing of the Utica Comets and are riding a four-game winning streak. Meanwhile the Thunderbirds, the last team to beat the Crunch, haven’t won since their 3-2 victory back on December 19th.
After such a dominating victory Friday night, the test for the Crunch will be to bring the same intensity that produced those ten goals against the Comets. Most of the goals they scored last night came from outworking Utica’s players.
