ROCHESTER, NY - Jake Walman tied the game in the second period and then won it in the third round of a shootout on Sunday as the Binghamton Devils defeated the Rochester Americans, 2-1.
The Americans took the lead 8:50 into the second period after no scoring in the first. Taylor Fedun sent a shot towards the net from the right point and Kyle Criscuolo got the deflection by goaltender Ken Appleby. The goal was Criscuolo's 15th of the year assisted by Criscuolo and Nathan Paetsch for the 1-0 lead.
Binghamton responded courtesy of Jake Walman to tie the game up at one goal apiece at the 10:50 mark of the second. Ben Thomson worked below the goal line and hit Michael Kapla with a pass at the left point. Kapla fed Walman who ripped a one timer by goaltender Linus Ullmark. The goal was Walman's third of the year and first with the Devils to tie the game, 1-1. Binghamton held a 17-15 shot advantage to start the third period in a tie game.
