Best Period, Last Period

BINGHAMTON- The Binghamton Black Bears defeated the Port Huron Prowlers 6-1 on Friday night.  Chance Gorman scored twice for the second-straight game this season, Ivan Bondarenko recorded his second-straight three-point night, and Dominik Tmej earned his second victory of the season. 

In the first of many Division Finals rematches this season, neither side was able to find the back of the net in the first period.  With just one penalty aside, Binghamton generated 15 shots on goal, but nothing to show for it on the scoreboard. 

The scoring started in the second period but really got going in the third.  Ivan Bondarenko opened the scoring with power play goal at 2:23, his third of the young season.  Port Huron found the equalizer for the time being at 9:44. That is where the scoring stopped in the second, as the last 10 minutes were tight checking without too many grade-a opportunities. 

Binghamton saved their best for the last period.  Five unanswered goals in the final frame propelled the Black Bears to victory.  Chance Gorman’s first goal of the night turned out to be the game-winning tally.  CJ Stubbs continued to score, Scott Ramaekers blasted his first goal of the season and Nick Cyprian scored in the empty net.  Gorman added another power play tally at the end of game, capping off the night with a 6-1 victory for the hometown Black Bears.  Binghamton improves to 2-0-0 with 4pts on the season.
