Syracuse Crunch News Release
ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Connor Ingram recorded a 38-save performance as the Syracuse Crunch shutout out the Rochester Americans, 1-0, tonight at the Blue Cross Arena.
Matthew Peca scored the game's only goal early in the third period to advance the Crunch to 45-21-3-5 on the season and 6-1-1-1 in the 10-game season series against the Amerks.
Tonight's victory marked Ingram's fourth shutout of the season. Linus Ullmark turned aside 17-of-18 in net for the Amerks. Syracuse was scoreless on four power play opportunities, while the penalty kill was successful on all six Rochester man-advantages.
After two scoreless periods, Peca tallied his 13th of the season 1:22 into the third. He chased the puck into the corner and sent it up to Reid McNeill at the left point. The blueliner's slap shot went wide and ricocheted off the end boards to Carter Verhaeghe at the post. He managed to quickly redirect the puck across the crease for Peca to chip into an open net on the backdoor.
The Crunch travel to Utica for the final road game of the regular season on Friday at 7 p.m.
