Allowing 18 goals in three games certainly isn't a winning formula and the Rochester Americans learned the hard way, falling to the Syracuse Crunch 6-3 on Wednesday as their season came to an end. Syracuse won all three games in the first round of the Calder Cup playoffs as the Amerks failed to win a single game in their first postseason berth since 2014.
