A surge of energy in the second period pulled the B-Sens within one goal, 2-1. Geoff Kinrade skated from center ice with the puck, and then helped create a scramble right in front of the net. Zack Smith tipped a loose puck into the open net for his 9th goal of the season at 16:32. Cody Bass and Eric Condra earned the assists.

Norfolk regained their two goal lead back at 7:28 of the third period as Ryan Craig skated around the back of the net and shot it in past the right side of Holt. Dana Tyrell and Adam Hall got the assists.

Binghamton came back and scored the next two goals. At 8:54 Jim O'Brien, on the power play, flipped in a Martin St. Pierre shot. Josh Hennessy would assist as well. Less than a minute later, Zack Smith picked up his second goal of the game to tie the score 3-3. Condra and Hennessy assisted for their second points of the game.

The B-Sens failed to hold on, giving up the game winning goal to Vladimir Mihalik with just under three minutes remaining in regulation, whose shot from the blue line and found its way past Holt to lift the Admirals to the 4-3.
