Thanks in part to a pair of third-period goals from Victor Olofsson and Remi Elie, as well as a near-perfect performance from goaltender Scott Wedgewood, the Rochester Americans (34-17-3-2) closed out the month of February with a 3-1 victory over the North Division rival Utica Comets (29-21-5-2) Wednesday night at Adirondack Bank Center…
The Amerks let 1-0 and 2-1 leads disappear in the second period, then, unlike Friday in Utica when they rallied from 3-down to win 4-3, they couldn’t beat Senators goalie Marcus Hogberg in the third period…
With three straight unanswered goals over the final 22 minutes of regulation, the first-place Rochester Americans (32-16-3-2) flipped a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 victory over the Cleveland Monsters (24-23-6-1) Wednesday night at The Blue Cross Arena…

Even with Tuesday night’s defeat, the Amerks have collected 17 out of a possible 24 points in their last 12 games and maintain their first-place lead atop the AHL’s North Division standings going into home-and-home series with the Syracuse Crunch.
