scoring for the B-Sens in the 2nd period. |
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - Tim Conboy's heroic goal with 13 seconds
left to play in regulation broke a 2-2 tie for the Portland
Pirates, providing the club with all they needed to steal
game three of the Atlantic Division Finals from the
Binghamton Senators on the road. With the win, Portland cut
Binghamton's two-game series lead to just one, as the
Pirates avoided falling into a three-game hole before having
to face the Senators at home for the next two games of the
series.
Ryan Keller and Kaspars Daugavins handled the
scoring for the B-Sens, each chipping in their fifth goal of
the playoffs, while Ryan Potulny added his team-leading 17th
point with a helper in the first in the losing effort.
Robin Lehner continued his fine play in net for the
Binghamton, stopping 30 of 33 shots faced, yet it wasn't
enough for the young goalie to avoid be handed his first
post-season loss as opposing net minder David Leggo managed
32 saves on 34 shots en route to his fifth goalie win of the
playoffs.
Brian O'Hanley put the Pirates on the board
with his first goal of the post-season in the opening frame,
while Derek Whitmore tied for the team lead with his fourth
playoff goal, a score that would knot the game for the
Pirates midway through the third.
It was Conboy's
goal that would be the most important, however, as the
defenseman picked the most opportune time to tally his first
post-season goal, ultimately sealing the victory for the
Pirates and allowing his team some breathing room in the
series, which now stands at 2-1.
The B-Sens will be
back at the Broome County Arena to host the Pirates in games
four and five of the Atlantic Division Finals on Monday at
Tuesday night respectively. Drop of the puck for both games
is at 7:05 p.m. Tickets are $19.75 for side seats and $18.75
for end zone seats. Fans can purchase tickets at
