Full marks to the Crunch for getting a point out of this one in a three games in three nights scenario with the three goal outburst in the Third Period. That said, they were in a position to sweep the weekend set and had to settle for five points. It’s not a bad result, but they could’ve used those four points in the standings badly.
2-3-5 this weekend for Gage Goncalves, who got some added responsibility with line shuffling and showed he could cash the ticket in.
