BINGHAMTON NY &#8212; The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins knew their winning streak wouldn&#8217;t last forever, and they don&#8217;t plan on reflecting on the 11-game run now that it&#8217;s over.A pair of first-period goals by the Binghamton Senators proved insurmountable as the Penguins lost, 3-1, for the first time since the second game of the season on Oct. 10. The Penguins win streak of 11 games set a franchise-record and propelled them to a 12-1 start on the season.&#8220;I&#8217;ve never been one to dwell on those kinds of things during the season,&#8221; head coach Mike Sullivan said. &#8220;For me, there&#8217;s no time to reflect at this point. I&#8217;ll reflect in the summertime when it&#8217;s all said and done.&#8221;But Sullivan did reflect on what his team could&#8217;ve done better in Friday&#8217;s loss. Things such as shooting more rather than trying to make an extra play in Binghamton&#8217;s small rink, and converting on power-play chances rather than going 0 for 6 and blanking on a full minute with a two-man advantage.&#8220;Special teams were the difference for me,&#8221; Sullivan said. &#8220;Our power play didn&#8217;t get it done. On most nights this year our power play has been the difference-maker for us. Tonight it wasn&#8217;t.&#8221;The Senators struck early with a power-play goal less than three minutes into the opening period for a 1-0 lead.The Penguins did manage 16 shots on net in the period, but Binghamton goaltender Chris Driedger stopped everything thrown his way.Binghamton gained a 2-0 lead late in the first period when Cole Schneider tipped a point shot past Matt Murray.&#8220;They&#8217;re a tough team to play against, especially at home,&#8221; center Kevin Porter said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a tough building to play in and they kind of got us on our heels. We have to come out better.&#8221;The Penguins did squander three power-play opportunities in the period, including a three-minute span midway through the frame.While Binghamton got a lot of sticks on pucks in the second period, the Penguins did fire another 17 shots on net and chipped away at the lead when Dominik Simon lofted a puck into the top of the net to make it 2-1.After two periods, the Penguins outshot the Senators 34-18 and Sullivan said they could&#8217;ve shot the puck even more.&#8220;Sometimes you have to put it on the net,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;s what I said to the guys after the first period, &#8216;Let&#8217;s take a page out of their playbook.&#8217; They throw two shots on the net from the point and they deflect and go in.&#8220;I thought we had more opportunity to get more on the net than we did, but we chose to make that extra play,&#8221; Sullivan said.As the Penguins looked to mount a comeback in the third period, they didn&#8217;t help their cause by taking three penalties in the first nine minutes, including 42 seconds of a Binghamton two-man advantage.While the Penguins killed off all three Binghamton penalties, they gained four minutes of consecutive power play time late in the period, including 1:01 of a five-on-three advantage but couldn&#8217;t connect. Binghamton iced the game with an empty net goal in the last minute to make it 3-1.&#8220;We get that five-on-three in the third and we have to score. That&#8217;s the game that&#8217;s in our hands right there,&#8221; Sullivan said. &#8220;We lose the faceoff so now it takes us 25 seconds to get it back in the zone.That&#8217;s the responsibility of playing on the power play. When those opportunities present themselves you have to take advantage of them.&#8221;The Penguins won&#8217;t have much time to dwell on the streak or the loss as they travel to Albany to face the Devils on Saturday.&#8220;Move on. That&#8217;s all you can do. You can&#8217;t dwell on things,&#8221; Porter said. &#8220;Move on and start a new streak.&#8221;NOTES- F Tom Kuhnhackl (injury), C Matia Marcantuoni (injury), D Barry Goers (injury) and F Tom Sestito were scratched for the Penguins.<style>
