SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Syracuse Crunch suffered a 2-1 overtime loss to the Hartford Wolf Pack tonight at the XL Center.
Despite the loss, the Crunch earned a point and moved to 5-4-1-0 on the season. Syracuse finishes the two-game season series against Hartford with a 1-1-0-0 record.
Crunch goaltender Brandon Halverson stopped 19-of-21 shots. Dylan Garand turned aside 31-of-32 for the Wolf Pack. Syracuse special teams went 1-of-4 on the power play while going 5-for-5 on the penalty kill.
After a scoreless first two frames, Bryce McConnell-Barker notched a goal for the Wolf Pack 5:55 into the final period. He picked up the puck on a Crunch turnover and took advantage of a 2-on-1 rush, shooting from the left circle and scoring on Halverson's short side. With 17 seconds remaining, Garard denied Conor Sheary, but Joel Teasdale snagged the rebound and scored from in front of the crease to force overtime.
Alex Belzile scored the game-winning goal at 4:53 in overtime on a shot from the slot through the five-hole.
The Crunch return home on Saturday to host the Cleveland Monsters at 7 p.m. for Military Appreciation Night.
