Albany Devils News Release
BINGHAMTON, NY - For the second straight night, the Albany Devils rallied in the third period to knockoff a fellow Empire State resident. Backed by 37 saves from Jeff Frazee and goals from Matt Anderson and Phil DeSimone, the Devils defeated the Binghamton Senators, 3-2, in a shootout.
Albany erased a two goal, third period deficit Saturday at the Syracuse Crunch before traveling just south for Sunday's game at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena.
Binghamton's Corey Cowick scored at 1:42 of the second and Hugh Jessiman beat Frazee on a penalty shot at 1:08 of the third to grab a 2-0 lead.
The resilient Devils answered with Anderson's goal set up by Frazee at 5:24 and DeSimone's marker from Eric Gelinas and Tim Sestito at 10:21.
The Devils, who unloaded a season-high 47 shots, fired a combined 38 shots during the second and third periods and in overtime.
In the shootout, Mike Sislo and Chad Wiseman scored during the first and second rounds. Binghamton's Dustin Gazley scored in the fourth round and Jessiman extended the session with a goal in the fifth round.
