Syracuse Crunch News Release


Worcester, MA (March 23, 2010) - Andrew Desjardins picked up two goals, Dan DaSilva recorded two assists and Alex Stalock made 24 saves to secure his AHL-leading 36th win of the season, as the Worcester Sharks handed the Syracuse Crunch their sixth loss in seven games tonight at the DCU Center. Greg Moore scored the Crunch's only goal in the losing effort.

Worcester did not wait long to put up the game's first goal, as Desjardins beat Crunch starter Dan Taylor just 56 seconds into the game to take an early 1-0 lead.

Worcester controlled most of the action for the rest of the first stanza, outshooting the Crunch by an 11-6 margin in the game's first 20 minutes.

The Crunch rallied back to tie the score just over four and a half minutes into the second period on their 14th shorthanded goal of the year when Brendan Bell poke checked the puck up to Moore, who broke in on a 2-on-1 with Chad Kolarik and beat Stalock to make it 1-1.

The score remained tied through the first two periods, as Worcester held a decisive 24-13 shots advantage through the first 40 minutes.

Worcester again did not waste any time at the beginning of the period, as Desjardins scooped up a pass from DaSilva, flew down the right wing and labeled a wrister just inside the left post past Taylor to put the Sharks up 2-1 just 11 seconds in.

T.J. Trevelyan made it a 3-1 game at the 9:05 mark of the third when he cashed in from the left side of the cage on the rebound of New Hartford, NY native Steven Zalewski's shot.

Crunch head coach Ross Yates pulled Taylor late for the extra attacker, but Syracuse could not get another puck by Stalock.
