Florida took an early lead but three-straight Fort Wayne tallies proved enough for the hosts to take the final game of the series. Kristers Gudlevskis had a rough night, his worst statistically since his third game in net for the Everblades. It was only the second time Gudlevskis let in more than two goals. Danick Gauthier, Maxime Langelier-Parent, Charles Landry and Carl Neilsen were still on assignment with AHL Syracuse. Dan Milan was scratched. Florida (13-5-2, 28 PTS) now returns home to take on Colorado (11-3-3, 25 PTS) for a back-to-back set beginning Friday night.

Official Recap | Box Score

Dump Truck delivers (again).

SYR-1
ADK-0

Cedrick Desjardins stopped all 28 shots he faced for the shutout victory. Goaltending will be extra important if Syracuse is going to ride out this stretch at less than full strength, and Desjardins gave them that goaltending tonight.

Third Period
SYR Paquette, (6) (Gauthier, Connolly), 12:00 (PP)

Desjardins and Cedric Paquette were the game's first and second stars. Paquette (Dump Truck!) had the game winning goal for the second straight game. Coming out of quite the scoring slumber, Brett Connolly also had an assist for the second straight game. That's a welcome sign from last year's 2nd Team AHL All-Star.

SYR-4

Cedrick Desjardins allowed 2 goals on 28 shots for the victory.

First Period
SYR Kaunisto, (1) (Langelier-Parent, Neilson), 18:10

SYR Gauthier, (3) (Connolly), 19:05 (EN)

Cedric Paquette (Dump Truck!) and Ray Kaunisto were the game's first and third stars.

I don't know what it is about the IceCaps, but the Lightning organization could stick cardboard cutouts in jerseys and still beat them. SyraNo has just had their number - big time - and tonight was a win Syracuse really needed to right the ship even though, when you look up and down the roster, it's very hard to find familiar names.

Syracuse faces Adirondack tomorrow as they attempt to put a little unlikely streak together here.
