Game 46: Syracuse Crunch (26-13-2-4) at Adirondack Phantomns (18-24-2-1)
3:00 p.m. at Glens Falls Civic Center, Glens Falls, N.Y.

Less than 24 hours after a stunning 4-3 loss to Albany, the Syracuse Crunch are back on the ice at 3 p.m. Sunday in Glens Falls to complete a three-in-three weekend and wrap the season series with the Adirondack Phantoms. Syracuse has points in each of the first seven matchups (4-0-1-2) against the Flyers' AHL affiliate and won the most recent contest, Friday at the War Memorial, a 4-2 victory in which Syracuse built a 2-0 lead, surrendered the tying goals, but rebounded to score the last two and snap a two-game losing skid. Saturday vs. the Devils, the Crunch again built a 2-0 lead and gave it up, but could not recover, losing in regulation for the first time when leading after two periods (20-1-2-0).
