Black Bears Win on Thanksgiving Eve

BINGHAMTON- The Binghamton Black Bears defeated the Danbury Hat Tricks 3-2 in a low scoring affair on a rare, Wednesday contest.  Rookie forward, Khaden Henry recorded a career-high three points (2G, A) in the one-goal victory for the Black Bears. 

The Black Bears were on the board first, as Khaden Henry scored in his first game back after being activated from the 15-day IR.  Five minutes later, the rookie added on his second of the night off a beautiful wrist shot beating the goalie’s glove.  Danbury had a late power play in the period, but unable to capitalize, the Black Bears went into the room up 2-0.

The visitors grabbed another power play in the second period, nearing the halfway point.  This time Danbury would convert, as Vadim Frolov wacked at a puck bouncing on the goal line.  20 seconds later, who else but Henry grabbing his third point of the night, as Tyson Kirkby scored his team-leading 11^th goal of the season.  But the scoring was not done,  Danbury’s Chase Harwell was able to score shorthanded, inching the game closer as the period drew to a close.  After two periods, the Black Bears led the Hat Tricks 3-2. 

Both teams had power plays in the third, but nobody was able to change the score.  Danbury outshot Binghamton 12-8 in the period, but McAnanama shut the door the rest of the way.  Binghamton wins 3-2 on the annual Thanksgiving Eve game.
