April 27, 2025 - by Cole Parenti - Binghamton Black Bears News Release
The first period was a fast start for the Black Bears as the team scored two goals in the first five minutes of the contest. Dan Wieber opened the scoring with his first playoff goal of the year. Then Don Olivieri beat the Port Huron goaltender to double the Black Bears lead. The Black Bears would get one more in the period as Dan Stone scored for the second time in as many nights. The teams would skate to the locker room with Binghamton holding a three goal advantage. The second period was more of the same, as the Black Bears scored the only two goals in the frame. The first was from captain, Tyson Kirkby, who buried a beautiful feed from Gavin Yates. Yates would then get in on the scoring as he buried a Prowler giveaway. 5-0 is where the game would stand as the period concluded. The third period was quiet as the only goal came from Don Olivier into an empty net, for his second of the night. The Black Bears take this one by a final of 6-0. Connor McAnanama was magnificent as he recorded his second straight shutout, stopping all 33 of the Prowlers shots. His counterpart Reid Cooper stopped 33 of the 38 shots asked of him. The Black Bears win consecutive elimination games and punch their ticket to their second straight Commissioner Cup Final. The Black Bears are back in action Friday for game one in Winston-Salem. As they meet the Carolina Thunderbirds in the final round for the second consecutive year. |
