April 23, 2005 - From The AHL
 |
| Charlie Stephens 2 goals
helped the BSens take game 2. |
Charlie Stephens scored twice to lead Binghamton to a 4-2
win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton at a sold-out Broome County
Arena on Saturday, upping the Senators’ lead in their East
Division semifinal series to two games to none.
Game
3 is Monday night in Wilkes-Barre.
Stephens opened
the scoring only 1:44 into the game, beating Penguins
goaltender Andy Chiodo over the left shoulder. Chiodo got
the start in net for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton after backing up
Marc-Andre Fleury in Game 1.
The Penguins controlled
play for much of the second period, tying the score on a
Kris Beech power-play goal at the 10:50 mark.
But the
Senators came out strong in the third, with Chris Neil
putting them ahead for good just 49 seconds in. Stephens
made it 3-1 at the 5:06 mark, and AHL rookie scoring
champion Brandon Bochenski added his first career playoff
goal at 12:46.
Brian McGrattan recorded two assists
for Binghamton, and Ray Emery made 29 saves to improve to
12-0-2 in his last 14 decisions, dating to the regular
season. Jason Spezza had an assist, giving him at least one
point in 22 straight games since Mar. 5.
Erik
Christensen finished with a goal and an assist for
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Binghamton, which led the lead
in offense with 276 goals in the regular season, has scored
nine in the first two games against the Penguins.
