Sustr and Taormina paired together to start game along with Tyrell, Paquette, and Rankin.

Third line Nacho, Angelidis, and Walker with Mormina and Nesterov paired together.

Top line - DiSalvatore - Namestnikov - Connolly and 4th line Neilsen & Richard. Third pair is Korobov and Witkowski. Crunch going 11F/7D split.

Kristers gets another win. 2 GA on 22 shots.

Connolly was a -1 but had 6 shots, so I assume he played well. Didn't say the game though, so I'll wait to hear from some people who did.

Also, how was Sustr?

Sustr played three shifts and left the bench. Did not appear injured. Anyone got a clue WTF happened?

Defenseman Andrej Sustr, who was sent down by Tampa Bay earlier on Friday, started for Syracuse but left the game in the first period with a nose injury. Zettler said he did not know if Sustr would be available for Saturday's game against visiting Binghamton.

Wow, Wilcox with the shutout. Sounds like he's been having a solid year as well.

Goaltending pipeline is looking mighty full right now

 

[Steve Yzerman]

Hopefully Sustr is fine.

Sustr was injured on his second shift in the Crunch's 3-2 win against Hershey on Friday night when he took a hard check and his head slammed into the boards. Saturday morning, Sustr said he won't be playing against visiting Binghamton tonight.

Someone on Twitter said that the Syracuse paper wrote that Sustr suffered a bad cut and it just wouldn't stop bleeding. If that's the case, he should be ok soon

 

[Crunchrulz]

Luckily Henry was a healthy scratch last night. Found it odd that the Crunch went with 8 dmen in warmups vice 12 forwards. Perhaps I am reading into this a bit far but I don't remember them doing that with healthy forward options available.

Sustr reported to the War Memorial for a team meeting but did not participate in the optional morning skate.

While Sustr didn't go into specifics about his ailment, he said he needed to rest. His nose also suffered a bad gash, but that looked better the day after.

"I need to sit for a few days,'' he said. "I'm alright. I just feel kind of out of it. Injuries are something you can't control. I just have to make sure I get back at it as soon as possible.''

"I kind of saw it coming,'' Sustr said of the send-down. "We had a lot of guys playing well up there. Some people say this is a demotion for me. I'd rather take this as an opportunity to play and get better. When you look at the big picture, it's better for me and my development to come here. This will benefit me and the organization in the future.''

Sustr's 38 games played with the Lightning this year is one shy of the total he played for Nebraska-Omaha last season. But he doesn't feel drained by slamming into any possible rookie wall.

"In college, you also practice a lot. Playing more games is more fun,'' he said. "You don't get to dwell on mistakes. Rookie wall, even in college you have some patches where things don't go how you want. You just have to work at it and get out of it.''

Helenius is getting destroyed in the ECHL? Not even sure how he's doing worse in the ECHL than in the AHL.

I watched the game he let in 3 goals in a minute to Orlando before getting pulled. It was pretty bad obviously.

There do seem to be guys who do worse in the ECHL than AHL. The guy in the other net, Chris Gibson seems to be one. He's a backup at best in the ECHL, but seems capable of shining in the AHL. A lot of it's mental.

Zettler said Sustr is doubtful for this weekend's 3-in-3

Anyone besides me old enough to remember when hockey players got cut in the face during a game, went to the locker room to get stitched, then finished the game wearing a full shield (if they had to) to be part of the team?

Andrey Vasilevskiy remembers that Panthers are in the same division as Lightning, so he hired an additional coach to get some special training to be able to adjust faster:

Curious what the real issue is with Sustr..something isn't fully adding up.
