The Syracuse Crunch have a busy week of games. Four games in seven days, including three against the Utica Comets. The NHL is on the other side of the Trade Deadline so roster limits have been eliminated. As a result, the Crunch have lost a few players to the affiliates, the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers.
The Crunch are also returning to a 32-game schedule as their second-last game of the season against the WBS Penguins has been cancelled. A game between the two teams was added last month while most of the North Division was mired in a COVID-19 outbreak.
