The Rochester Americans (20-7-2-2) opened their four-game road swing Saturday night at Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena against the Binghamton Devils (11-17-4-0) and were unable to solve veteran netminder Louis Domingue as they came up empty-handed in a 2-0 loss.
Despite the setback, however, the Amerks show a 15-4-1-1 record over their last 21 games dating back to Nov. 1, earning points in 18 games over that span, and maintain a three-point cushion atop the AHL’s North Division standings. Additionally, Rochester has picked up points in 22 of the last 28 contests overall, going 18-6-2-2, while also earning 43 out of a possible 62 points through its first 31 contests of the season.
Casey Mittelstadt, Scott Wilson and Casey Nelson all registered a game-high four shots on net for Rochester, which entered the matchup having earned points in 20 of its last 25 games against Binghamton dating back to start of the 2017-18 campaign. Goaltender Andrew Hammond stopped 27 of 29 shots he faced but suffered his third consecutive loss. In his last 12 games, Hammond boasts a 7-4-1 record with four shutouts, a 1.67 goals-against average and a .946 save percentage.
