Amtrak arrival in Rochester is 10:00 AM, leaving 4 hours for the 3:40 drive to Potsdam.  That works a little better, but adds another hour of driving each way.  I think I'd try to make it work if the game started at 3:00.

Thanks, everyone for all the great suggestions.  I do want make a North Country hockey visit sometime, and now I know how to do it.

I bet you could save 30 min just getting off earlier.

It's marginally doable. Google Maps says 2:34 from Syracuse Amtrak to Cheel Arena, so you should arrive midway through the first period.
(That assumes, of course, that Amtrak runs on time and that your favorite auto rental agency has your car warmed up and ready to go.) You're not going to run into an awful lot of traffic at that time of day.
