Bondarenko was able to push the lead back to two, scoring fast into the period once again.  Jonny Ruiz inched the game closer, tallying his first of the year and recording Danbury’s second power play goal of the night.  Finally, the Black Bears power play lit the lamp, Austin Thompson scored his fourth goal of the campaign, which would eventually become the game-winning goal.  After two periods Binghamton had a 4-2 lead. 

In the third, Danbury was the team to score first, Austan Bellefeuille fired a shot that ricochet off a defender, and into the net.  Once again it was a one-goal affair, but the Black Bears were able to pull away.  Gavin Yates scored the empty-net goal, and Scott Ramaekers added the exclamation point in the final minute.  Binghamton wins on home ice 6-3.
