Around The AHL: How Seth Appert steers the Amerks through a difficult night

One by one, the goals piled up on the Rochester Americans last weekend.

 

While the game, a 9-2 home loss, finally ended, the pain would continue long after for head coach Seth Appert, his leadership group, and the Rochester dressing room. Already down 3-2 after the first period, Rochester went on to surrender six unanswered goals as the game devolved into a rout. Appert elected to pull starter Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen after 27 shots and five goals allowed. A night earlier, Luukkonen had pulled out a 4-2 come-from-behind road win with 34 saves.
