The Rochester Americans (13-10-2-1) held the Syracuse Crunch (15-9-2-2) to just five shots in the final period before Brandon Biro capped the 3-2 win in overtime on Saturday at Upstate Medical University Arena.

With the overtime victory, the Amerks have won two of the first three games against the Crunch this season, which included a shootout win back on Nov. 4. Dating back to the 2022-23 regular season versus Syracuse, six of the last eight meetings between the two clubs have been decided beyond regulation.

Along with the overtime-winning marker, Biro also logged an assist on Lukas Rousek’s second-period goal to finish with a pair points, his eighth multi-point outing of the season. Aleksandr Kisakov scored his fourth goal of the season to kick-off the scoring for Rochester, which snapped its 0-3-0-0 winless skid.

The Rochester Americans (13-11-2-1) were unable to complete a two-game sweep over the Syracuse Crunch (16-9-2-2), dropping a 3-1 contest in a rematch with their intrastate rival Wednesday at The Blue Cross Arena.

The Amerks and Crunch have split the first four games of the season-series with the road team emerging victorious on all four occasions. Dating back to the 2022-23 regular season versus Syracuse, six of the last nine meetings between the two clubs have been decided beyond regulation.

Forward Lukas Rousek scored for the second time in as many games and pushed his point streak to four games as he has five points (3+2) dating back to Dec. 20. The Czech native has a goal in three of his last four outings over that same span for the Amerks, who remain winless on home ice in December.

Goaltender Dustin Tokarski (5-6-1) made his 12th appearance of the campaign and stopped 12 of 15 shots he faced.

Shawn Element (2+0) recorded the first two-goal outing of his professional career while Gage Goncalves pushed his point streak to five games as he added his sixth goal of the season to complete the scoring.

Despite the loss, the Amerks have collected at least one point in six of their last 14 games against Hershey overall, going 5-8-1-0 over that span dating back to the start of the 2016-17 campaign. Rochester entered the matchup, the first between the AHL’s two oldest teams since Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals this past spring, carrying a three-game home win streak against the Bears.

After being assigned to the club earlier in the day from the Buffalo Sabres (NHL), Jost made his Amerks debut. The former first-round selection (10th overall) in the 2016 NHL Draft scored his first goal in the AHL since Feb. 9, 2019, while also logging his first multi-point outing since Jan. 26, 2019.

Weissbach also factored in on both Rochester goals (1+1), which included his fourth of the season to open the scoring for the Amerks, who finished the month of December winless on home ice (0-5-0-0). Lukas Rousek and Viktor Neuchev both tallied an assist in the defeat, with Rousek extending his point streak to five games.

With the victory, the Amerks have collected points in nine of their last 10 road games against Utica dating back to Dec. 28, 2022, going 8-1-1-0 over that span. Rochester also improved to 3-1 in the skills competition this season and have appeared in a league-high 12 games decided beyond regulation.

Mersch logged his fourth two-point effort of the season and second of the month to help lead the Amerks to the win, while Tyson Jost scored his second goal in as many games since joining Rochester on Friday. Lukas Rousek pushed his point streak to six games, which matches a personal-best, as he added an assist.

A pair of goals in each of the second and third periods combined with a career-high 41-save effort by rookie goaltender Devon Levi helped the Rochester Americans (23-16-5-1) earn a 5-3 win over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (25-17-6-1) Friday night at The Blue Cross Arena.

With the victory, which closes out the season-series with the Penguins, the Amerks have points in nine of their last 12 games dating back to Jan. 17. After being swept in the two-game season-series in 2017-18 against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Rochester has gone a near-perfect 9-1-0-1 in the 11 meetings since, including winning each of the last four meetings on home ice.

The trio of Michael Mersch (2+1), Mason Jobst (0+3), and Linus Weissbach (1+1) combined for three goals and five assists as each turned in a multi-point performance. Tyson Kozak, who tallied a career-high three-point outing on Wednesday, and Jiri Kulich both scored in the second and third periods, respectively. Defensemen Joseph Cecconi and Jeremy Davies each notched an assist in the win.

Levi (5-2-2), who made his ninth appearance of the campaign and fifth straight, turned aside 41 of the 44 shots he faced, both of which were career-highs in the AHL. The rookie netminder has made 30 or more saves in six of his nine games with the Amerks this season, which includes each of his last three contests.

The victory, Rochester’s third straight and fourth in the last five games, keeps the Amerks in third place in the AHL’s North Division standings and gives them points in 17 of their last 24 games dating back to Jan. 17.

The defeat snaps the Amerks’ three-game win streak against the Marlies this season, as well as overall, despite the team earning points in 17 of its last 25 games dating back to Jan. 17. Rochester, which owns a 3-1-0-0 record through the first four games this season against the Marlies, split the home-and-home series after claiming last night’s matchup at The Blue Cross Arena.

Forwards Brandon Biro (1+1) and Viktor Neuchev (1+1) both recorded two points for the Amerks while Mason Jobst also found the back of the net for the second straight game. Ethan Prow, who appeared in his 400th AHL game today, Ryan Johnson, and Michael Mersch each tallied an assist.
