B-Sens Lose 4-3 in Shootout to Albany
December 7, 2013 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Binghamton Senators News Release
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - The B-Sens dropped a heartbreaker tonight as they fell in a shootout 4-3 on home ice to the Albany Devils. Andrew Hammond played tough between the pipes for Binghamton stopping 24 of 26 saves, but it was Albany's Keith Kinkaid who earned the victory while stopping 37 of 39 B-Sens shots including 14 in the overtime period.
Harri Pesonen started off the scoring for Albany at 8:15 of the opening period on a power-play goal giving the visitors the early lead. That score was carried into the first intermission with Kinkaid stonewalling all nine shots faced in the opening period and Hammond turning aside eight of nine Devils shots.
Binghamton struck just 1:03 into the middle frame when Jean-Gabriel Pageau received a beautiful cross-crease feed from line mate Mark Stone and slipped the puck past Kinkaid to level the score at 1-1. Matt Puempel gave the B-Sens the lead at 14:48 of the period when he sent home a power-play goal off helpers from Cody Ceci and Stephane Da Costa. The power-play goal ended a 0 for 17 skid for Binghamton on the man advantage. However, heavy penalty trouble toward the end of the frame gave Albany a five-on-three man advantage. Mike Sislo tied things up with less than two minutes to go in the period on Albany's second power-play notch of the night.
The third period was a goaltenders battle with both net minders turning aside all of their oppositions chances forcing an overtime period. Hammond finished the final period of regulation stopping all eight Albany tries while Kinkaid turned aside all seven B-Sens shots.
Overtime brought 14 shots for Binghamton after Albany's Dan Kelly was sent to the penalty box for a tripping call just 1:11 into the extra period, but Kinkaid handled all shots sending the game to a shootout.
Stefan Matteau and Artem Demkov made good on their shootout attempts while Andre Petersson was the only Binghamton shooter to beat Kinkaid giving the visitors the shootout victory.
Binghamton finished 1 for 5 on the man advantage while Albany converted two of its five power-play opportunities.
Binghamton returns to action on Wednesday, December 11, when they welcome the Hershey Bears to the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena in a 7:05p.m. contest.
