Rochester, N.Y. — As analytics continue to have a greater influence on hockey, there’s a school of thought that suggests faceoffs don’t matter, that winning and losing a draw isn’t the end-all, be-all.The Crunch scored three tip-in goals immediately after they cleanly won three faceoffs, including the game-winner by Gabriel Fortier 10:56 into overtime, as Syracuse defeated the Rochester Americans 4-3 on Sunday evening to even the best-of-five Calder Cup North Division semifinals 1-1.
“Our centers have to do a better job, our D have to do a better job boxing out,” Amerks coach Seth Appert said. “You can’t give up three faceoff goals, that’s most of their offense there.” And as a result, the teams will be all-square when the series resumes at 7 p.m. Thursday in downtown Syracuse.
