Trenton, NJ – Brent Robinson slipped Rick Kowalsky's rebound past goaltender Trevor Koenig 20 seconds into overtime to lead the Trenton Titans to a 2-1 victory over the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies before 3005 at Sovereign Bank Arena in Game 2 of the North Division Semifinals. Trenton leads the best-of-five series 2-0.

After a scoreless first period, the Bullies opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal at 7:19 of the second. J-F Plourde created a turnover at the right-wing circle, and his shot deflected to the welcoming stick of Jason Notermann positioned to left of the net who slapped it past Trenton goaltender Andrew Allen to give the Bullies a 1-0 lead. Trenton countered at 16:05 when Nick Deschenes stripped Matt Deschamps of the puck at the Bullies blue line, broke in alone to the net and lifted the puck over Koenig to tie the score at 1-1 where it would remain until overtime.

Trenton out-shot Atlantic City 30-28. Koenig stopped 28 shots in suffering the loss. The Bullies went 0-6 on the power play.
