Hershey was looking to extend their East Division lead heading into the AHL All-Star break. With a one point lead on Wilkes-Barre with three games in hand, the Bears were riding a three game winning streak into Saturday night’s game against Binghamton.
After allowing the B-Sens to get on the board first, Hershey responded with back-to-back goals in the second from Chris Conner and Jim O’Brien in the second. The lead did not last long for the Chocolate and White as 22 seconds later Carter Camper tied the score at 2-2.
The score would stay tied until All-Star Connor Carrick would find the back of the net 54 seconds into the overtime period to give Hershey the extra point and win over the B-Sens to hold onto a one point first place division lead.
