Syracuse only started the game with ten natural forwards playing up front with LHD Dmitry Semykin forced to make his AHL debut as a right winger, of all things. He did get his first AHL goal out of the ordeal, but tonight underscored some of the struggles the team may face offensively so long as Colton and Barre-Boulet remain up with the big club.
