The 3-1 win marks just the second time this season that the Marlies have strung together three successive victories.
“A lot of different challenges today that we had to face,” said Sheldon Keefe. “We faced it head on and found a way to win a very tough, very physical hockey game. Really good for our team.”
First Period
The opening frame was action packed with plenty of scoring chances, but the Marlies couldn’t solve Binghamton netminder Cam Johnson.
Sam Gagner could have had a hat-trick inside the first nine minutes, but he couldn’t convert on a breakaway, a one-time effort during a 2-on-1 break, and then on the game’s first power play.
