BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - Binghamton fell 7-4 to the Hershey Bears extending the Sens losing streak to seven straight games. Both teams combined for 143 penalty minutes, but the home team managed to notch three third period goals to pull away for the victory.

Hershey grabbed the early lead when Stanislav Galiev put a power-play strike past Binghamton net minder Andrew Hammond just 1:20 into the contest. Binghamton evened the score at 11:56 when Mark Stone put a shorthanded goal past Bears goaltender Michal Neuvirth. However, Julien Brouillette tallied his first of two goals on the night with less than three minutes remaining to send the hosts to the locker room with a 2-1 lead.

The Senators and Bears combined for five goals in the middle frame. The first came from Hershey's Matt Watkins under one minute into play to extend the Bears lead to 3-1. Binghamton rallied with three unanswered goals in the frame including Danny New's first goal of the season since being recalled from the Elmira Jackals at 6:16 to cut the Bears lead to 3-2. Just over two minutes later, following a Michael Latta elbowing penalty which ended his night, Cole Schneider added two straight power-play goals for Binghamton giving them the 4-3 lead. Brouillette's second goal of the game tied things up with less than two minutes to play sending the teams tied going into the final intermission.
