BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - The Binghamton Senators fell 5-2 to its host the Hershey Bears in a heated matchup where the divisional foes combined for 114 penalty minutes. Chris Conner led the Bears with a goal and three assists while the B-Sens managed just 20 shots on goal through 60 minutes of play.
Hershey opened the scoring 6:03 into the first period when Chris Brown beat Binghamton's Andrew Hammond for his sixth goal of the season.

Binghamton cut Hershey's lead to 2-1 just shy of the eight-minute mark of the second on the power play when Derek Grant redirected a centering feed from Shane Prince past Pheonix Copley for his eighth of the year. Hershey responded less than one minute later with a power-play goal of its own from Stanislav Galiev before Tim Kennedy restored the two-goal Bears advantage at 9:58 of the second.
