November 5, 2014 - American Hockey League (AHL) Utica Comets Jacob Markstrom pitched his fourth shutout of the year as the Comets blanked the Binghamton Senators 1-0 on Wednesday night at The Utica Memorial Auditorium. <\/p>\n
Markstrom stole the show and excited The AUD faithful yet again. The Swedish goaltender ended up stopping all 19 shots faced and recorded his fourth shutout in six games. <\/p>\n
The physicality between the two teams presented itself early on in the first period with the teams' combining for 38 penalty minutes, 20 of which were fighting majors. <\/p>\n
The Comets got all the scoring they would need just 13:41 into the game. Dustin Jeffrey broke into the zone after receiving a pass from Bobby Sanguinetti. Jeffrey slid a centering feed to Jensen, who popped the puck past Binghamton's Andrew Hammond for his fourth goal of the year. <\/p>\n
\"It could have gone either way, it was the small little details that made the difference,\" Jensen said of the game. <\/p>\n
After tonight's win, the Comets now lead the Western Conference with 18 points. <\/p>\n
The Comets will hit the road starting Friday to face the Lake Erie Monsters in Cleveland, Ohio at the Quicken Loans Arena. The 7:30 p.m. EST match-up will be the first of two meetings for the teams this season. Last season, the Comets went 3-1-0-0 when visiting the Monsters and 5-2-0-1 overall. <\/p>\n
The Comets will return to The AUD on Wednesday, November 12 to battle the Chicago Wolves, a team that has been closely trailing the Comets position in the Western Conference. <\/p>\n
