| D-Man, Geoff Kinrade scores
in the double OT game 6 to force game 7. |
Defenseman Geoff Kinrade converted a wraparound chance at
10:01 of the second overtime period, ending the suspense and
giving Binghamton a thrilling 2-1 road win over Manchester
in Game 6 of this Atlantic Division semifinal. The B-Sens
have rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to even it at three
games apiece.
The Senators and Monarchs will
reconvene at Verizon Wireless Arena on Saturday night for
Game 7, with a berth in the Atlantic Division Finals on the
line.
It marked the first career playoff goal for
Kinrade, a second-year pro who has totaled 13 tallies
(13-39-52) in 154 regular-season tilts with Binghamton over
the past two campaigns. Erik Condra and Jim O’Brien picked
up helpers on the play.
B-Sens rookie goaltender
Robin Lehner came up huge between the pipes, finishing with
51 saves on 52 shots to earn his second consecutive victory.
Justin Azevedo gave Manchester a 1-0 lead midway through
the second period, but Senators rookie Bobby Butler answered
with his third goal of the playoffs at 10:26 of the third
frame. O’Brien and Condra also helped out on that marker.
Both overtime sessions featured terrific chances for
each team, as Binghamton’s top-rated regular-season power
play was denied on an opportunity late in the first extra
period.
Then, Manchester’s Bud Holloway, who shows a
team-high nine points (3-4-9) in the postseason, had the
series on his stick with a penalty-shot attempt at 4:55 of
the second overtime but was denied by Lehner. A little more
than five minutes later, the B-Sens skated off victorious.
Binghamton has now collected all three of its victories
in the series via overtime.
