Syracuse Crunch News Release


SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Max Lagace and the Syracuse Crunch shutout the Utica Comets, 2-0, tonight at the Adirondack Bank Center.

In addition to the win, Alex Barre-Boulet broke the franchise record for most points by a Crunch player with his 242nd point. Syracuse is now on five-game winning streak and improves to 18-13-2-3 on the season. The team is 4-0-0-0 in the 14-game season series against the Comets.

Lagace stopped all 25 shots he faced to earn his first shutout of the season. Akira Schmid turned aside 20-of-22 between the pipes for the Comets.

Syracuse had no power play opportunities in the game, while their penalty kill shut down both of Utica's man-advantages.

After a scoreless first period, the Crunch broke the stalemate late in the middle frame. Trevor Carrick fired a shot from the left circle that was blocked, but Barre-Boulet was down low to chip the rebound over for Gabriel Dumont to send in.

The Crunch doubled their score at the 12:52 mark of the third period. Barre-Boulet sent a lead pass for Jaydon Dureau to get ahead of the defense and score his first goal of the season on the breakaway.

The Crunch and Comets finish the weekend's home-and-home series tomorrow in Syracuse.
