Pirates back in series with B-Sens after 3-2 victory
By The Nelson Daily Sports
It’s looking like a road team series in the AHL Calder Cup Atlantic Division Finals between the Binghamton Senators, the farm team of the NHL’s Ottawa Senators and Portland Pirates.
Tim Conboy’s goal with 13 seconds left to play in regulation broke a 2-2 tie to power the Portland Pirates a 3-2 victory over the B-Sens in the Atlantic Division Finals Saturday in Binghamton.
The B-Sens still lead the best-of-seven series 2-1 with game four set for Monday at the Broome County Arena in Binghamton.
Binghamton won the first two games of the series in Portland by 3-2 and 5-3.
Ryan Keller and Kaspars Daugavins handled the scoring for the B-Sens, each chipping in their fifth goal of the playoffs.
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.
Binghamton defenceman and Nelson Minor Hockey grad Geoff Kinrade finished the game a minus-1.
