Recap
A tough game to lose with how hard-fought it was, but at least the Bears came away with a point out of it. The first period was slow (unlike the rest of the game). At the 7:27 mark, Binghamton's Danny Hobbs was charged with hooking. At the 17:43 mark, Binghamton took the 1-0 lead. Chris Wideman scored his 9th of the season, from Garrett Thompson & Danny Hobbs. After the 1st, the Bears had the 17-9 shot advantage, but trailed 1-0.
The 2nd period was an eventful one. 1:09 into the period, Hershey tied it up. Nate Schmidt, in his first game back from injury, scored his 2nd of the season unassisted. At the 6:17 mark, Binghamton's Patrick Mullen was charged with hooking. Within 45 seconds (starting at the 11:35 mark), Binghamton took a 3-1 lead. The 1st goal was Michael Sdao's 6th of the season, from Wacey Hamilton & Corey Cowick. The 2nd goal was Matt Puempel's 29th of the season, from Shane Prince & Ryan Dzingel. At the 15:12 mark, two penalties were issued. Hershey's Chay Genoway and Binghamton's Chris Wideman were both charged with roughing. 7 seconds later, Hershey cut the lead to 3-2. Dane Byers scored his 14th of the season, from David Kolomatis & Kris Newbury. A little over 2 minutes later, Hershey tied it up. Michael Latta scored his 13th of the season, from Ryan Potulny & David Kolomatis (2nd assist of the night). After the 2nd, the Bears had the 33-23 shot advantage.
The 3rd period was just as exciting as the 2nd, but with less statistics to show for it. At the 3:58 mark, Hershey took their first lead of the game. Casey Wellman scored his 19th of the season, from Ryan Stoa & Ryan Potulny (2nd assist of the season). Only 28 seconds later, Binghamton tied it back up. David Dziurzynski scored his 11th of the season, from Derek Grant & Cole Schneider. At this point, Binghamton switched goalies (from Nathan Lawson to Andrew Hammond). The only other happening in the period was at the 12:23 mark. Hershey's Caleb Herbert was charged with interference. Hershey continued to dominate the shot advantage, now at 40-29.
The overtime had only one happening, and it was the goal that won it for Binghamton. Derek Grant scored his 12th of the season (2nd point of the night), from Alex Grant & Fredrik Claesson. Hershey finished with a dominating 44-31 shot advantage. Hershey will look to get back in the win column tomorrow night, as they finish their 5-game road trip against the Springfield Falcons. Game time is at 7.
