Andrew Amerk 1,452 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 (edited) The Rochester Americans (4-3-0-0) are back on home ice looking to snap out of a two-game skid tonight as they host the first-place Utica Comets (5-1-0-1) in a North Division matchup at The Blue Cross Arena. Tonight’s 7:05 p.m. contest will be the fourth of 14 scheduled meetings between the two teams this season and also will be carried live on The Sports Leader 95.7 FM/950 AM ESPN Rochester as well as AHLTV. Rochester is 1-2-0-0 in the season series against the Comets after dropping a 7-2 decision in the teams’ previous get-together in Utica this past Friday. The contest remained a 2-2 tie through 40 minutes until the Comets erupted for a season-high five goals during the final period to snap the Amerks’ four-game win streak.

As if 25% is somehow bad? That would be good for 10th in the NHL! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Amerk 1,452 Posted March 4 Author Report Share Posted March 4 Comets dominated possession and play for most of the 1st, up until the end. 6K stopped 13 of 14 Comets shots. Amerks with only 6 shots. Game tied 1-1, with Comets starting the 2nd on a PP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Norcal 720 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 UPL was nice tonight! Murray lives around the opponents goal Utica came at em but the kids came out on top anyways 5 on 3 4 minute high stick in the 3rd didn't help either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Amerk 1,452 Posted March 4 Author Report Share Posted March 4 6K stopped 32 of 34 shots. And the first goal shouldn’t have counted because the Comets were way offsides. Solid game for the Amerks and especially 6K. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Other than that, he has been pretty good, no? Being a 21 year old goalie in the AHL and all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Four points in eights games for a guy who isn’t known as a scorer. Edited March 4 by inkman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
