Albany Devils News Release


BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - Matt Anderson netted the winner late and Steve Zalewski and Adam Henrique also scored as the Albany Devils produced a 3-2, come-from-behind victory against the Binghamton Senators Tuesday at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena. Anderson won it for Albany with 3:34 remaining, improving the team's record to 23-32-1-3. Binghamton goes to 32-22-3-4.

The Devils trailed 2-1 midway through the third period until Henrique chipped in a loose puck at 10:39. Then as time ticked away, Anderson raced down the left wing and fired a wrist shot past Binghamton's Barry Brust, preventing overtime.

Defenseman Dan Kelly assisted on both goals for his first career multi-point contest.

Jeff Frazee made his second straight start and turned away 22 of 24 shots. The win was his 10th of the season.

Zalewski opened the scoring at 13:35 on a centering pass by Jeff Prough after Stephen Gionta won the puck behind the net. The goal was Zalewski's sixth in 10 games since being acquired by the Devils. Previously, he had four goals in 50 games with the Worcester Sharks.

A scoreless second period followed, but back-to-back goals by the Senators gave the home team control. Ryan Keller potted both goals; the first came 59 seconds into the third and the second was at 3:25 while on the power-play.

From there, Henrique scored his team-leading 20th goal of the season. He is now one goal away from tying Nick Palmieri for most AHL goals by a Devils' rookie.

Anderson's tally was his 19th of the year and increased his point total to a club-best 44.

For Binghamton, Brust made 21 saves on 24 shots. Most notably he robbed David McIntyre twice in the second period on near identical plays. During both instances, McIntyre had a go at a rebound towards a wide-open net.

The Devils return to action on Friday, Mar. 4 for a 7 p.m. contest against the Norfolk Admirals. Tickets can be purchased at the TUC Box Office or at any ticketmaster outlet. Fans can also get tickets by dialing 800-745-3000 or online at ticketmaster.com.
