The Binghamton Senators Quarterly Grades are underway with the first report due of the season, as the team is off to a 8-8-2-1 record that ended with Friday’s win over Syracuse to close out the first quarter. The team struggled early offensively and with poor defense, but it appears they have turned the corner as of late things are beginning to fall into place as they have won their last four out of five and moved up to third place in the division to end the quarter on a good note.
It was challenging in the first handful of games for Luke Richardsonas as the ever-changing line-up was a common ground routine in finding the right pieces to fit the puzzle for a successful season. However, it is now on track scoring 64 goals this quarter which is third best in the league averaging 3.37 per game as the line-up has found some stability. Power play has shined ranked 6th at 21.1%.
What’s ahead in the second quarter that began with Saturday’s 4-3 win over Rochester is how the team continues to respond and grow as a unit if they want to repeat to the top of the East Division and further on. Lately it’s starting to show as we look at the grades for the Senators after 19 games.
Coming up on Monday the Quarterly Grade results for both the Defense and Goaltender’s.
