Sabres Notes - Amerks Get Extended Vacation, Ex-Sabres Behind In Playoffs

The Rochester Americans earned themselves some time to heal up and rest with their three-game sweep of the Syracuse Crunch last week, but the club had to await the winner of the Laval-Cleveland series to see who they will face in the next round of the Calder Cup Playoffs. The Rockets finished off the Monsters in four games, but the clubs will not start their series until next Wednesday, giving the Amerks a 13-day break in between games. Laval won the AHL North Division with 101 points (nine points ahead of Rochester), which means the Amerks will host the first two games of the best-of-five series on Wednesday and Friday, before heading to Quebec for Games 3, 4 & 5(if necessary) on May 21, 23, and 25.
