It seems like the Syracuse Crunch have been on a slide forever, but it was only five games spaces out over three weeks. The team is back to winning ways with a 4-3 regulation win over the Rochester Americans on Monday night. John Ludvig’s first career AHL goal was the game-winning goal that snapped the losing streak. Devante Stephens scored against the organization that drafted him. Otto Somppi had two points with a goal and an assist, Boris Katchouk brought home two assists, as Spencer Martin stopped 31 of 34 for the win.
Heartbreaking stat time: When Devante Stephens scored the goal that put the Crunch up 2-1 in the second period against Rochester, it was the Crunch’s first lead since they beat the Utica Comets in the first game of the season on February 6th, nearly one whole month ago.
