'Win one for Komarov' was Amerks rallying cry after scary injury - Pickin' Splinters But when Rochester Americans rookie defenseman Vsevolod Komarov lie motionless on the ice following a fight with Syracuse Crunch forward Jack Finley, the crowd at Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial ...

“Super proud of him for being the guy to step up and try to change the momentum. They had the momentum and for him to go into that fight against a tough guy like Finley, we were going to fight back for him.”

Amerks games (and most AHL games) aren't broadcast on TV, only streamed on FloHockey.

Amerks shut out Crunch to take two-game series lead in AHL playoffs Devon Levi was outstanding in net, and Jiri Kulich scored a huge power-play goal to lead Rochester to a 4-0 victory over Syracuse in Game 2.

The Rochester Amerks are up two games to none against Syracuse following their 4-0 victory Sunday. Here's my report on the game:
www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Devon Levi, "I can't say it, there's a swear word in there."

"It's a team slogan that Leo uses a lot."

Amerks won 4-0 yesterday and are up 2-0 in the best of 5 series.

Leone said in the post skate that he expects Kozak to be ready for the Amerks playoffs.

Would like to see Ostlund get another game in here before the playoffs but with the busy week it's TBD.

Kulich is also TBD. Here or play for his country and whatever decision is made is respected.

Leo said as a coach he wants to keep the #Amerks under 200 goals allowed this season saying, "it hasn't been done in a really long time."

It's only happened 5 other times in 69 seasons. Not counting the shortened seasons.

Leone, "you're going to develop better when you're in a winning culture."

Tyler Kopff will play in his first pro game tonight with the Amerks.

We have signed forward Tyler Kopff to a two-year entry-level contract that will begin in 2025-26.

Kopff will join the Rochester Americans on a tryout contract for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. Details → bufsabres.co/4j80kZD

We have recalled Josh Dunne from the Rochester Americans.

Sunny blue skies for a Friday night Amerks hockey game. Calder Cup playoffs are near!!

Per @tonyandrock.bsky.social on that other site -- Buffalo Sabres are loaning forward Ty Tulio to the Calgary Flames' AHL affiliate Calgary Wranglers

@llysowski.bsky.social added that Tullio wanted an opportunity elsewhere if he wasn't going to play for the Amerks.

The Rochester Americans have the best record in the American Hockey League.

So good defensively. Balanced scoring now that the top six is producing. Devon Levi has a .915 save%. Potential for another playoff run this spring.

"Rochester, we love you"

Devon Levi has a 16-4-1 record, three shutouts and a 2.03 goals-against-average in his last 21 games with the Amerks.

Amerks updates from Leone:

Kozak is out week to week with a lower body injury.

Clague is out tonight with the bug going around.

'Terrible' effort by Amerks results in loss to Crunch - Pickin' Splinters Riding a six-game winning streak during which they used their high-powered offense to overwhelm opponents, the Amerks were given a stiff dose of reality by the Syracuse Crunch on Friday night...

“We were terrible; we were soft, we didn’t compete. You have to hit, you can’t just skill your way to five goals.”

War Dog will be back after the break. Leone added, "I think if it was a game 7 in a conference final, knowing that kid, he would find a way." Gave credit to the #Amerks medical staff and the work done to get Neuchev back as well.

Armed with a shoot-first mentality, Rosen hits 20-goal mark as Amerks roll - Pickin' Splinters Newcomer Nicolas Aube-Kubel, Viktor Neuchev, Anton Wahlberg, Riley Fiddler-Schultz and Nikita Novakov also scored goals as the Amerks improved to 25-12-3-1...

“I feel good, I’m creating lots of chance and thankfully they’re going in..."

Isak Rosen scored his sixth goal in the past five games, and Amerks improved to 25-12-3-1 on the season.

Novikov walked that in skating through two players. Amerks 7-3!

Jobst to Wahlberg who scores going through the crease! Amerks 4-3.

Neuchev is back in the lineup and scores!! Excited celly jumping into the boards. Amerks 3-1.

Nicolas Aubé-Kubel cleans up in front of the net! Looked so casual and easy. Amerks 2-1.
