Syracuse Crunch News Release


SYRACUSE, N.Y. - After giving up the first goal, the Syracuse Crunch rattled off three consecutive goals to rally past the Laval Rocket, 3-1, tonight at Place Bell.

The win advances the Crunch to 38-22-4-2 on the season as they complete the eight-game season series against the Rocket, 4-4-0-0.

Crunch goaltender Brandon Halverson turned aside 25-of-26 shots. Jakub Dobeš stopped 31-of-33 between the pipes for the Rocket. Syracuse converted on 1-of-4 power play opportunities, while Laval went 1-for-6.

The Rocket were first on the board with a power-play goal 13 minutes into the opening frame. Justin Barron ripped a slap shot from the left point that was blocked in the slot by a Crunch skater, but the puck came back out for Barron to score on his second attempt.

The Crunch tied the score 8:33 into the second period. Tristan Allard battled along the boards before cutting towards the net along the goal line and backhanding a shot off Daniel Walcott and past Dobeš.

Syracuse stole the lead with a power-play goal in the third period. Max Crozier kept the puck in at the blue line and sent it down to Gage Goncalves in the left circle. His cross-slot feed set up Jack Finley for a perfect tip-in on the back door. Shawn Element then scored into the empty net in the final minute of play to secure a Crunch victory.

The Crunch travel to face the Belleville Senators tomorrow.
