All of a sudden, Syracuse is struggling to win close games too.

Ondrej Palat [8] was the game's second star. Palat has 5 goals and 13 points in his last 8 games. I believe that technically qualifies as "on fire". With Benoit Pouliot [9] possibly hurt in today's game against Boston, I wonder if Palat might be worthy of some consideration for a cup of coffee.
Syracuse finishes their weekend tomorrow against Hershey.
