PLAYERS TO WATCH

THREE KEYS TO THE GAME
1. Final Season Push for Pride – After failing to defend the division title, the Senators’ wears and tears of the season begins to wind down. Lots of things have to happen for this club to be competitive next year as player’s contract’s are up.
2. Senators’ Home Record – Senators home record is 14-12-4-1 which is not even close to what it was the last two seasons. Bridgeport is 11-18-4-1 on the road.
3. Special Teams a Focus – As Binghamton riding the success of the power play ranked second in the league, the penalty kill sits at 25th spot as the theme remains offense first, defense last.
