The Rochester Americans (1-1-0-0) generated 33 shots, including 17 in the first period alone, but were only able to solve the Toronto Marlies once in a 4-1 loss in Saturday’s rematch between the North Division rivals at Coca-Cola Coliseum.

The two teams split the weekend series with each winning at home and each scoring four goals in their respective wins.

Jake Leschyshyn scored his first goal of the campaign from Isak Rosén and Noah Östlund midway through the third period while rookie goaltender Topias Leinonen (0-1-0) made his Amerks debut. The Finnish netminder stopped 17 of the 20 shots he faced but was dealt the defeat.

Travis Boyd (2+0), a 2018 Stanley Cup champion, made an immediate impact in his Marlies debut by scoring twice while team captain Logan Shaw also had two points (1+1) in the victory. Ryan Tverberg (1+0), Jacob Quillan (0+1), Benoit-Oliver Groulx (0+1), Matthew Barbolini (0+1) and William Villeneuve (0+1) all added a point to close out the scoring.

Netminder Dennis Hildeby (1-0-0) made 32 saves in a winning effort for Toronto.

On the strength of seven different goal-scorers, the Rochester Americans (2-1-0-0) erased a 2-0 deficit in the opening period before erupting for seven straight unanswered goals on their way to a 7-4 victory over the Utica Comets (0-2-1-0) Friday night at Adirondack Bank Center.

With the win, Rochester improved to 26-7-1-1 in the last 35 matchups against the Comets, which includes a 15-2-0-1 record when playing on the road at Adirondack Bank Center since the 2022-23 campaign. The Amerks have scored five or more goals in 10 games during that span, which includes five in the last 12 meetings alone.

Isak Rosén produced a game-high three points (1+2) to lead the Amerks to their second win of the slate while second-year skaters Vsevolod Komarov and Noah Östlund both contributed a goal and an assist apiece. Defensemen Jack Rathbone, Ryan Johnson, who was assigned by the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, and Zac Jones all tacked on a pair of helpers. Viktor Neuchev, Konsta Helenius, Brendan Warren, and Riley Fiddler-Schultz each scored one goal while Tyler Kopff closed out the scoring by adding a helper.

Rosén, who’s recorded all but one of his six points so far this season on the power-play, is now tied for the AHL scoring lead with Providence’s Alex Steeves.

Netminder Devon Levi (2-0-0) earned his second win of the season.

A night after erupting for seven unanswered goals, the Rochester Americans (2-2-0-0) struggled to generate any offensive firepower as they were unable to solve goaltender Brandon Halverson in a 3-0 loss to the Syracuse Crunch (3-0-0-0) Saturday at Upstate Medical University Arena.

The shutout defeat was the Amerks’ first against the Crunch since Feb. 15, 2019, a span of 75 regular season contests between the intrastate rivals. Furthermore, it was the first road regular season shutout loss against Syracuse since Jan. 13, 2018.

Forwards Noah Östlund (5) and Konsta Helenius (4) combined for nine shots on goal while Isak Rosén, who, along with Östlund, recorded at least one point in the first three games of the seasom, registered three.

Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev (0-1-0) made his Amerks debut after joining the club on a reassignment from the Buffalo Sabres last week. The veteran netminder, who made his first AHL start since Jan. 26, 2019 as a member of the Hartford Wolf Pack, became the first Bulgarian-born goaltender to appear in a game with the franchise.

Matteo Pietroniro logged his first-career two-goal outing to lead Syracuse to a 3-0-0-0 start while Jakob Pelletier, Nick Abruzzese, Dominic James, Tristan Allard, Dylan Duke, and Maxim Groshev all added an assist. Wojciech Stachowiak capped off the scoring by adding his first tally of the campaign.

Halverson (2-0-0) made 31 saves in the win.

A pair of power-play goals and a shorthanded tally helped the Rochester Americans (3-2-0-0) defeat the Syracuse Crunch (4-1-0-0) by a 4-2 score Wednesday night at The Blue Cross Arena.

With the win, Rochester, which earned a split of the home-and-home series with the Crunch, has won its first two home games of the season and three of the last four dating back to the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Viktor Neuchev recorded his second tally of the season for the Amerks while Josh Dunne, who made his season debut with Rochester after starting the season with the Buffalo Sabres, and Trevor Kuntar each scored their first. Jagger Joshua capped off the goal scoring as he recorded his first-career shorthanded goal in the second stanza.

Jack Rathbone, Jake Leschyshyn, Isak Rosén, Oliver Nadeau, Zac Jones, and Vsevolod Komarov all produced one assist each for the Amerks.

Goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (1-0-0) made his first appearance with Rochester since Nov. 9, 2022, after being loaned to Rochester for a conditioning stint from the Sabres. Luukkonen stopped 21 of the 23 shots he faced to earn the win.
