Binghamton Senators @ Norfolk Admirals: Game Day Preview II

Let’s hope the Binghamton Senators can make this two in a row as the Norfolk Admirals repeat in playing host tonight against their division opponents. Friday’s win will go for naught if the Senators can’t pull off another one so let’s hope for the better.

MATCHUP HISTORY

Binghamton won last night’s contest 5-2 with three unanswered tallies in the third and the solid backing of Scott Greenham.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Kyle Palmieri, NOR – His conditioning stint continues for the second straight outing while rehabbing his ankle. The Anaheim Ducks winger had a game high eight shots in last night’s contest. Look for him to try to solve Greenham (hopefully) in tonight’s re-match.

Max McCormick, BNG – The rookie had a good outing in last night’s victory scoring two goals, an assist while a +2 in his first game back from being out of the line-up the past eight games. The speedy forward will likely center the fourth line again but there’s a chance he could move up in the line-up.

TOP 3 STORYLINES FOR THE GAME

1.  Can Senators make it 2 in a row @ The Scope?– In what was feared as the least likely place for the Senators to score a win for years, they have now won the last 4 out of 5 in southern Virginia.

2.  Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde – Senators are just that as we never know what team will show up on a given night as this season has been filled with inconsistencies from the beginning. Defensive turnovers are still problematic even in last night’s win, but seem to have settled down as of late.

3.  Andrew Hammond or Scott Greenham – If Greenham starts, I expect the same effort as Friday’s win. If Hammond gets the nod, who knows what’s in store. Head coach Luke Richardson has a tough call, but he’s got to put Greenham in as he is has won his three meetings dating back to last season.
