Syracuse Crunch overpower Bridgeport Sound Tigers, 5-1

The Syracuse Crunch overpowered the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, 5-1, tonight at the War Memorial Arena.

Stephens tallied two goals in the victory, while Otto Somppi and Daniel Walcott both added a goal and an assist. The victory improves the Crunch to 4-2-2-0 on the season and 1-0-0-0 in the four-game season series against Bridgeport.

Netminder Scott Wedgewood turned aside 15-of-16 shots for the Crunch. Jared Coreau blocked 23-of-27 shots in net for the Sound Tigers before being relieved by Jakub Skarek in the third period. Skarek went on to stop 1-of-2. Syracuse did not capitalize on either of its power plays, but killed off all three of Bridgeport’s man-advantages.
After a scoreless first period, Stephens broke the stalemate 4:06 into the middle frame. Stephens cleaned up the rebound on Boris Katchouk’s shot from the left circle. Less than 30 seconds later, Nick Schilkey sent the feed in front for Travis St. Denis to fire in from the slot.
