Goaltender Matt O’Connor had himself quite a night as he had 31 saves while Curtis Lazar scored the game winner with time running out in the third, as the Binghamton Senators (2-1-0-1) went ahead and spoiled the Utica Comets’ (1-4-0-0) home opener by a score of 2-1 at the Utica Memorial Auditorium on Wednesday.
It was a hard fought battle for both clubs as all three goals were scored on the powerplay, with even strength action that went back and forth.
Utica’s Carter Bancks would put his team up 1-0 with Vincent Dunn in the box for tripping.
