The Binghamton Senators handed the Admirals their 4^th loss of the season Friday night in Binghamton, New York defeating the Admirals 4-2.  Binghamton’s Corey Cowick netted the game’s 1^st goal at the 3:11 mark scoring off his own rebound for his 2^nd goal of the 2012-2013 campaign.  Senators’ Andre Petersson sniped the puck past Bobkov on the power play to give the B-Sens a two goal lead with 7:26 gone in the 1^st.    The Senators saw the lead grow to 3-0 as Andre Benoit feathered the puck past Bobkov late in the opening period.  The Senators outshot the Admirals 15-9 in the period.

That was all she wrote for Igor Bobkov as Frederik Andersen came out to start the 2^nd period.  The change in goal was not enough to stop Binghamton as Derek Grant scored his 2^nd goal of the season just minutes into the 2^nd period. Grant’s goal was a rare breakaway shorthanded goal.  Grant’s goal stretched the Senators lead to 4-0.  Patrick Maroon made it 4-1 on the power play tipping in a Gabe Guentzel shot early in the second period.  Norfolk’s Guentzel picked up his 1^st pro point assisting on Maroon’s 5^th tally of the season.

Norfolk’s Brandon McMillan scored his 1^st goal of the campaign to rally the troops within 2 goals midway through the final period; however; that was not enough as the Senators defeated the visiting Norfolk Admirals.  Norfolk outshot Binghamton 33 to 27 in the loss.  The Senators were successful on 1 out of 5 power play opportunities. The Admirals cashed in on only 1 of their 7 power play chances.
