UTICA, N.Y. - Utica Comets goalie Joel Hofer, a St. Louis Blues prospect, notched his first professional win as the team rallied with five unanswered goals in the final two periods to beat the Syracuse Crunch 5-1 at the Adirondack Bank Center, Tuesday.
The Comets spent half of the opening frame shorthanded taking five penalties, but the Crunch took a 1-0 lead into the locker room on a short-handed goal by Taylor Raddysh. Syracuse outshot Utica 14-9, but Hofer made a few key saves to keep it a one-goal game.
