The
Binghamton Black Bears traveled to Danbury and though many of the
Binghamton fans after last night's win and then snow storm had to watch
the game from a car in parking lot after storms shut down power in the
greater Binghamton area, the Black Bears played their hearts out but
came up short taking a 5-4 OT loss to tie the series at 1 game a piece.
Binghamton's Tyler Gjurich scored a hat trick in the game with two of
the goals coming on the power play. Geno DeAngelo scored the 1st goal of
the game for the Black Bears but it was Danbury's Nicola Levesque
scoring the OT game winner for the Hat Tricks forcing the series
deciding game 3 which will be tomorrow night. See the Binghamton Hockey.net Boxscore
here.
Game 3 is Wednesday night in Danbury with a puck drop scheduled for 7:30
PM.
