The Rochester Americans have dominated their playoff series against the Syracuse Crunch, completing a three-game sweep in the AHL North Division semifinals. The final game ended with a 4-0 victory, propelled by Devon Levi's stellar goaltending, which included two consecutive shutouts in the series. Notably, Levi stopped 90 out of 92 shots, marking him as the third Amerks goalie ever to achieve back-to-back playoff shutouts. Coach Michael Leone praised both Levi's performance and the defensive efforts of his team, who only allowed two goals across three games.

Captain Mason Jobst and defenseman Kale Clague contributed offensively, with Jobst netting two goals in the decisive game. The Amerks' ability to neutralize Syracuse's physical play was critical in their unexpected sweep, showcasing a remarkable turnaround from their previous, more competitive playoff encounters. The Amerks' defense, combined with Levi's brilliance, created a formidable barrier that the Crunch could not overcome this series.
