Binghamton Senators News Release
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - The Binghamton Senators tallied a season-high four power-play markers against Norfolk on Friday night at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena, but could not overcome a three-goal deficit as they fell 7-5 to the Admirals.
Troy Brouwer gave the Admirals the early 1-0 lead, as the winger gathered a loose puck and tapped it in from the left post.
After a quiet 13:00 span Norfolk struck again, this time on the power play. Defenseman Dustin Byfuglein buried a one-timer into the top of the net, right over the top of goalie Jeff Glass's outstretched glove
The Senator responded with a power-play marker of their own, as leading scorer Jeff Heerema collected his 15th marker of the season. Ryan Vesce and Cory Pecker assisted on the goal.
Serge Payer, who arrived back in Binghamton just hours before tonight's game following a stint with Ottawa, snapped a wrist shot from the right faceoff circle through the legs of Sebastien Caron to tie the game at 2 apiece.
The second best power-unit in the AHL flexed their muscle just one minute after the Payer goal, as Martin St. Pierre broke the tie just one minute later as he blasted a one-timer from the top of the zone.
At 14:59 of the second stanza, center Jonas Nordqvist collected his fourth power-play marker of the year. St. Pierre followed that up with an even-strength tally three minutes later to make it a 5-2 contest. That fifth ended the night for goalie Jeff Glass, as he was replaced between the pipes by Kelly Guard.
Winger Cory Pecker erased his thirteen game goal-scoring drought, as he snapped a wrist shot from the left post through the five hole to bring the Senators within two.
Norfolk captain Craig MacDonald netted the game-winner at 4:02 of the last period, as the center faked left, then weaved right scooping a shot past Guard.
The Senators added late marker by Josh Hennessy and Andy Hedlund to get within striking distance, but Carl Corazzini ended the comeback attempt with an empty-netter at 19:48.
