Binghamton, NY - The Hamilton Bulldogs defeated the Binghamton Senators 5-3 on Saturday night. Ben Maxwell led the charge for the Bulldogs with a goal and an assist.

Binghamton opened the game's scoring while on the power play at 11:53 of the final frame. Mattias Karlsson whacked away at the loose puck in front of Hamilton starting goaltender Cedrick Desjardins before sending the puck onto the stick of Josh Hennessy. Hennessy slid the puck over the goal line to give the Senators a 1-0 lead.

Hamilton tied the game 1-1 at 1:28 of the second stanza. David Desharnais skated behind Binghamton's net before sending a pass to Maxwell. Maxwell fired a shot that beat Binghamton starting goaltender Jeff Glass. Hamilton took a 2-1 lead at 16:08. Dan Jancevski sent the puck to Yanick Lehoux who skated down the side boards. Lehoux fed a pass out front to Ryan White, who banged the puck past Glass. Jancevski's assist was his 63rd as a Bulldog. He is now tied with Ron Hainsey for all-time assists by a Bulldogs defenceman.

The Bulldogs scored two goals in the final frame to take a 4-1 lead. Yannick Weber received the puck from Maxwell before blasting a shot that sailed through traffic and past Glass.
