Aucoin\u2019s tally, while on the manpower advantage, started with some responsible defensive work. \u201cThey had a 2-on-1 and I was back checking and the guy missed the net, and I happened to pick up the puck with speed,\u201d he said. \u201cI saw their defense was changing and flat-footed, so I just got around him. I waited as long as I could to pass to Giroux, and I couldn\u2019t find him, so at the last second I put over his shoulder.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"small;\"><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">Enjoying a sizable territorial advantage and out shooting the Senators 20-3, Hershey was only able to add one other goal after the Aucoin strike, rookie Oskar Osala\u2019s third goal of the season at 13:28, departing the period with a 2-0 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">The second period, in which no goals were scored, featured some sparkling work by Machesney, as well as some controversy. Machesney\u2019s glitter came in the form of the foiling of Josh Hennessy\u2019s shorthanded bid at 8:06. The Bears net minder, who quickly sealed the opening, stifled Hennessy\u2019s five-hole attempt. The controversy occurred late in the period, when referee, Francis Charron, waved off an apparent Senators goal. Machesney, who had the best seat in the house, offered his insight. \u201cI was late to get to the rebound and the puck came off the boards; I just threw everything at the puck and I knocked the net off,\u201c he said. \u201cI think the puck came up with me. We don\u2019t have instant replay in this league and it\u2019s up to the ref\u2019s discretion, and I think he made the right call.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">Alexandre Giroux\u2019s seventh goal of the season gave Hershey a 3-0 lead at 5:57 of the third period, and it looked like the Chocolate and White would sail to an easy victory. However, due largely in part to Hershey\u2019s power play struggles earlier in the game, Binghamton clawed their way back into the game, netting a 5-on-3 power play goal by Brendan Bell at 12:45. A minute after the Bell marker, with Binghamton still on the power play, Machesney twice denied Ilya Zubov from point-blank range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">Matt Carkner\u2019s goal at 18:41 of the third period, made it 3-2, but Binghamton was unable to get the equalizer by Machesney to force overtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">It\u2019s been said that a goalie\u2019s biggest asset is his ability to forget his last surrendered goal. <\/span><span style=\"small;\"><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">Machesney, commenting after the game, showed that even though he hasn\u2019t quite mastered that ability, he has made progress. \u201cAny time you have a rough outing, you have to bounce back; that makes you a professional,\u201d he said. \u201cNobody in the rink felt worse than I did on Sunday night. It took the week to forget about it. Tonight\u2019s over and I have to worry about tomorrow.\u201d<span style=\"yes;\">\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"small;\"><span
