  "account": "Rochester Americans secured their third consecutive win on Friday night, defeating the Hartford Wolf Pack 4-2 at Blue Cross Arena. Led by Matthew Peca's goal and two assists, the Amerks maintained a three-goal lead throughout the game. Talyn Boyko made 24 crucial saves, earning his first victory with Rochester. Peca extended his point streak to seven games, marking his third consecutive multi-point performance. Caleb Jones added a goal and an assist, while Conor Sheary contributed two assists in his return to the lineup. The Amerks capitalized on two of their three power-play opportunities. Jones broke a scoreless tie with 36 seconds left in the first period, and Peca scored twice more in the second period to extend the lead. The Amerks dominated the first 40 minutes, leading 3-0 and outshooting Hartford 20-19. However, Hartford staged a comeback, scoring twice in less than three minutes during the third period, thanks to Liam Greentree and Lucas Vanroboys. Trevor Kuntar sealed the victory with an empty net goal with 24 seconds remaining, giving Rochester a 32-26 shot advantage. Peca's seven-point performance highlights the Amerks' surge, making him the first player in the 2026-27 campaign to reach double figures in assists.",
