After getting bounced in the first round of the playoffs in 2015, the Syracuse Crunch followed up with an average season and did not qualify for the postseason. But, the Tampa Bay Lightning‘s AHL affiliate dealt with several injuries and had to cope without some of their top players who were called up to the Lightning during the regular season.
There will be a few new faces in Syracuse once the Crunch take the ice this fall and they’ll look to rebound and get back into the playoffs just three years removed from their appearance in the Calder Cup Finals.
