Well, if we can predict an entire season after just one game, things are going to be just peachy for the Syracuse Crunch. They opened their 2024-25 season with a convincing 5-0 win on the road at Utica. Brandon Halverson continued to show that he can be a top goaltender in the league as he stopped all 26 shots that he faced. Meanwhile, rookie Dyllan Gill had two goals while fellow rookies Niko Huuhtanen and Dylan Duke also found the back of the net. Max Groshev rounded out the scoring with his first of the year as well.
While it’s not a bad way to start the season, the road back to the playoffs for the Crunch will be long and twisted.
