In Game 2 of the AHL series, the Rochester Americans (Amerks) and Syracuse ended in a dramatic 3-3 tie that extended into overtime. Key moments included Devon Levi's critical saves for Rochester, which kept the game competitive despite Syracuse's strong offensive plays. Philippe Myers and Mason Jobst were notable for their goal-scoring, with Myers' last-minute goal in the second period and Jobst's equalizer with just 3:54 left in regulation. The game saw a controversial moment in overtime involving an icing call that was not overturned, leading to frustration from Amerks coach Seth Appert. The evenly matched game, reflected in the final shot count of 25-25, was significant as it evened the series, highlighting the intense rivalry and the high stakes of the playoffs.
"Terrible call." A controversial icing in overtime helped Syracuse even the series with Rochester. The Amerks probably would have lost in regulation if it weren't for Devon Levi, though. My observations from their loss in Game 2: https://t.co/AAbMxnC8vn
#Amerks coach Seth Appert on the missed icing call in OT: “Terrible”.
Seth Appert wasn’t happy with the late icing the Amerks thought they had negated. Made it clear it wasn’t the reason they lost.
Amerks called for icing which should've negated them clearing the ice (I think?) but the officials let the crews shovel the ice which should've meant the icing was overturned. Instead, SYR wins draw and scores. Appert and Amerks coaches are pissed.
Justin Richards stopped trying to squeeze in alone and now #Amerks got hit by an icing where it looked like puck was deflected....Appert furious. 9:09 left in OT.
Levi stops Jordy Bellerive all alone in front and crowd starts a "Levi, Levi"...Down to 11 1/2 minutes left in OT in Rochester. #Amerks
And the #Amerks have gotten Game 2 vs. Syracuse to OT. It's 3-3 through 60 minutes. Shots are 25-25. It was 11-4 for the visitors in the third. Until the Jobst tying goal at 16:06, Roch had basically no chances. #Sabres
Mason Jobst cuts through left circle and ties it 3/3 with 3:54 left. Levi has made two big saves here to prevent Cuse from going up 4-2 and got rewarded. #Amerks
Mason Jobst scores with a shot from the left circle as Rochester makes it 3-3. Only 3:54 left in regulation of Game 2.
Mason Jobst ties it for the Amerks. 3-3 with 3:54 to go in the third.
Devon Levi made two impressive saves, but the Amerks couldn't get the clear they needed. Goncalves tipped a shot past Levi with 15:01 left in regulation. Rochester and Syracuse tied 2-2 in Game 2.
End-2nd: #Amerks lead Cuse 2-1. Shots are 21-14 for Roch (10-8 in 2nd). The last-minute Cuse goal was credited to D-man Philippe Myers.
#Amerks lose D-zone draw and long shot from the point slithers through to beat Levi with 46.2 seconds left in the 2nd. Tough timing there. Lead cut to 2-1.
DEVON LEVI OH MY GOODNESS! What a save from the Beast as he keeps that one out. WOW! 3-2 ROC | :05 3rd | #SYRvsROC
