SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Alex Barre-Boulet scored his 30th goal of the season in overtime to lift the Syracuse Crunch over the Charlotte Checkers, 2-1, tonight at Bojangles' Coliseum.

The win moves the Crunch to 41-17-4-2 on the season and 1-2-0-0 in the four-game season series against the Checkers.

Goaltender Eddie Pasquale earned his fifth consecutive win with 23 saves between the pipes for the Crunch. Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 18-of-20 in net for the Checkers. Syracuse went 0-for-3 on the power play and 4-for-5 on the penalty kill.
