Last time out
Marko Dano's overtime goal lifted the Falcons over the Crunch, 2-1, Saturday at the War Memorial, beating Syracuse goalie Allen York in his AHL season debut. Crunch center Mike Angelidis provided the lone tally for Syracuse in the third period to force overtime.

Dano's left-circle shot snuck over York's right shoulder at the 4:13 mark of the extra session during three-on-three hockey. Former Crunch winger Dana Tyrell earned the assist. Recalled from the ECHL's Florida Everblades Feb. 2, the 26-year-old York stopped 34 of 36 shots.

After a first-period goal, Springfield's 1-0 lead lasted until the 12:37 mark of the third period. Mike Angelidis' 15th goal of the season, the team's third power play goal this week, tied the score, 1-1. Counter-clockwise cycling from Joey Mormina to Slater Koekkoek reached Tanner Richard in the left wing corner. Richard's quick stick to Angelidis between the circles created the captain's one-time bid that squeaked through Oscar Dansk's legs. Syracuse finished 1-for-5 on the man advantage and has power-play goals in four of the last six games.

In his second start against the Crunch this season, Springfield netminder Oscar Dansk recorded a season-high 39 saves. Dansk also bested the Crunch Oct. 26, earning his first AHL win in a 5-1 Falcons victory.

Scouting the Flames
The top scorer for the Flames, Drew Shore, scored most of his 33 points (10g, 23a) for a different team. The Florida Panthers traded Shore for Corbin Knight on Jan. 10. The 24-year-old center has tallied three points (1g, 2a) in six games since his Jan. 23 debut with Adirondack. Emile Poirier leads the Flames with 13 goals and ranks second on the squad with 28 points.

Joni Ortio represents the Flames between the pipes with 19 wins in 32 starts, fourth best in the AHL. He's also posted a 2.30 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage in his fourth year at the AHL level. Brad Thiessen has back-up duty for Ortio and has a 5-7-3 record in 16 starts with a .914 save percentage and 2.68 goals-against average.

The Flames haven't found a victory yet in three February games and are 4-6-2-0 in 2015. In six contests against the Eastern Conference, Adirondack is 3-2-1-0 with a 2-1-0-0 record against the Northeast Division, splitting two games with Albany and defeating Syracuse.

Syracuse versus Glens Falls teams
During the Crunch's 21 year existence, the AHL has had a team in Glens Falls for 11 seasons: the Red Wings (5), Phantoms (5) and Flames (1). Over the course of three AHL affiliations in Glens Falls (Detroit, Philadelphia and Calgary), Syracuse is 38-34-2-3 to go along with four ties against Adirondack. In Glens Falls, Syracuse is 17-21-1-1 with one tie.
