Binghamton Senators Clip Penguins In Overtime

Stephane Da Costa scored the game winning goal at 11:07 of overtime to give the Binghamton Senators a 4-3 decision over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins last night at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena and even their playoff series at one and one.

The game-winner was the second goal of the night for Da Costa.  Mark Stone also had a big night for the B-Sens.  He scored a goal early in the third period to tie the game at 3-3.  He also notched three assists to garner four points in the contest.

Binghamton battled back after falling behind 3-1 with less than two minutes gone in the second period.  B-Sens goaltender Andrew Hammond made 23 saves to earn his first professional playoff victory.  The Penguins' netminder Peter Mannino made 24 saves.

Binghamton travels to Wilkes-Barre for game three on Wednesday and game four on Friday.  Should there be a deciding fifth game it would be played in Binghamton at 7:05 on Monday May 5.
