When: 7:05 p.m. EST

Dustin Jeffrey had a goal and an assist and was a +2. For Syracuse: In Springfield last night, the Crunch lost in a shootout 3-2. Crunch goaltender Timo Pielmeier stopped 26 of 28 shots and took the loss in the shootout.

Record: For WBS,  9-0-0-0 (18 pts., 1st place East Division) – For SYR, 4-3-1-2 (11 pts., 5th place East Division)

Why you should care: This Crunch team is now affiliated with the Anaheim Ducks. Anaheim always ices a quality AHL team and so far this Crunch team is no different. Syracuse this week bolstered its blue line with Nathan Paetsch who the Crunch received on loan from the Vancouver Canucks organization. We only see the Crunch six times this year (3 home / 3 away) which is the least amount for teams in the East Division this year, so head-to-head games against this team must count.
