That one hurts. They climbed all the way out of an early 3-1 hole only to surrender the tying goal with under a minute to play in a 6-on-4 situation, and then they dropped the second point in OT. Max Crozier and Jack Finley continue to rack up big contributions. In his last 10 games Finley has 7-5-12 and in his last 20 games Crozier has 5-14-19 from the blueline.
But, at the end of action today, the Crunch have a painfully narrow two point advantage for the final playoff spot in the North Division and Belleville holds two games in hand. 19 regular season games to go.
