MATCH-UP HISTORY
The Phantoms hold a slight edge over the Senators in winning three out of five this season.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Nick Cousins, LV – Solid numbers while leading his team with 36 points (14 goals, 22 assists in 45 games) and seems to always end up on the score-sheet against Binghamton.
Shane Prince, BNG – Like above, another player having solid numbers with 15 goals and 18 assists in 42 games and making the best of it with him attacking the net aggressively with a 109 shots, good for fourth on the team.
THREE KEYS TO THE GAME
1. Both Teams on a Slide – As we are all familiar what’s happening with the Senators’ problems, the Phantoms are on a losing slide as well. having gone 3-7 in their last 10 and losing their last three out of four.
2. Need Some Defense – Not the best thing happening right now with the defense, and as many player movements it has been experienced over the last month, need to protect the net better and be leery of players around it.
3. Primary Scoring Needs to Unleash – It’s always good to get any kind of secondary scoring but this shouldn’t be habit-forming as the numbers are down during this losing streak.
