BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - The Binghamton Senators travelled to the Blue Cross Arena for a Friday night tilt against the cross division rival Rochester Americans. Zack Kassian netted the game winning goal and added an assist at the Amerks handed the B-Sens their sixth straight loss, 3-1.

Derek Whitmore struck for Rochester just 3:44 into the second to knot the game at one.
