William Nylander earned the lone assist adding to his league-leading point total which now sits at 34. Matt O'Connor stopped eight of nine shots faced while Antoine Bibeau was perfect on all five Binghamton shots.
Toronto added a pair of goals in the middle frame to increase their lead to 3-0.

Toronto outshot their hosts 12-7 to carry their lead into the game's final intermission.
The B-Sens made it interesting as they tallied a pair of goals just over a minute apart to push the score to 3-2 with 12 seconds remaining in regulation. Max McCormick managed to tip home a shot by Michael Kostka from the point before Cole Schneider redirected another Kostka shot past Bibeau to make it a one-goal contest.
