The Syracuse Crunch failed to hold onto a two-goal lead and fell in overtime to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, 4-3. Despite two goals from Ross Colton and a valiant 32-save effort from Martin Ouellette, the Crunch lost for only the third time in thirty-one games when they had the lead after two periods.
It was an entertaining and weird game. The Crunch absolutely dominated the first period, scoring twice and outshooting the Penguins 17-5. The second period they had the better play for the most part, but it was a more even game.
