BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - The Binghamton Senators survived extra time and beat the Syracuse Crunch 4-3 in overtime Friday night. Kyle Flanagan sent home the overtime goal and also recorded an assist to lead Binghamton offensively.
The Binghamton Senators came out strong in the first period outshooting the Crunch 15-8, but both teams were held scoreless for the opening 20 minutes.
Casey Bailey started the night with his eighth goal of the year just 1:47 into the middle frame off assists from Chris Carlisle and Jason Akeson. With seven minutes left to play, Ryan Rupert doubled the lead for the B-Sens with his tenth goal of the year after being set up by Max McCormick and Fredrik Claesson.
