The second period was all Black Bears, as Binghamton rattled off another four-straight goals.

All of the goals for the Black Bears in the second period occurred on the power play. Elmira added another goal on a 5on3, but the Black Bears had already made their statement, leading 7-2.
While Binghamton did not score in the final period, Connor McAnanama and the defense kept things at bay. Elmira would finish the night 2/8 on the man-advantage. Tempers flared in the third, but the Black Bears were able to skate out of Elmira for the final time this season with the three points, earning their 34th win of the seaosn.
