Binghamton Senators News Release
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - Binghamton Senators winger Cory Pecker gave the Senators a 3-2 lead with less than five minutes left in regulation, but the Syracuse Crunch rallied to tie the game in the final minutes and won in the shootout round, as the 4-3 loss was the fifth straight defeat for the Senators.
After fifteen minutes of scoreless hockey, the Senators took advantage of a 5-on-3 power play, as defenseman Andy Hedlund went top shelf from the near point over Tomas Popperle's glove to give Binghamton a 1-0 lead. All four Hedlund markers this season have come with Binghamton on the power play.
Olivier Labelle tied the game with just two minutes left in the first stanza. Labelle took a centering feed from Derrick Walser, who was sitting in the deep left circle, and tapped it past Jeff Glass.
After a Crunch goal by Philippe Dupuis in the second period, Josh Hennessy buried the Senators' second power-play marker of the afternoon to knot the game a 2 apiece. Hedlund collected his second point with a helper on the play.
With five minutes remaining in regulation, winger Cory Pecker snatched a loose puck from the Senators zone and had a solo rush. Pecker went top shelf over Popperle's glove, just as Hedlund had in the first stanza.
The B-Sens couldn't hold the third period lead, as Derrick Walser buried a short-handed marker at 18:17 to send the game into overtime.
Syracuse entered the extra session with a man advantage, but were unable to score thanks to some nifty goaltending by Jeff Glass.
Philippe Dupuis netted the game-winning shootout marker to send the Senators home with their fifth straight loss.
