Shootout
SYR- Ylonen, Groshev
CLE- Fix-Wolansky
Conor Sheary was the game’s second star.
Big two games against Cleveland for Dylan Duke (2-3-5) and Gabriel Szturc (3-0-3). Niko Huuhtanen’s had a pretty good weekend, too (0-3-3).
It felt like another one slipping through their fingers when Del Bel Belluz tied it up late in the game, but thankfully the Crunch pulled this one out. They desperately needed it, and they outshot Cleveland 29-20 in the process. Hopefully this is the start of turning the corner.
