THIS WEEK...
Friday, Nov. 5 at Hamilton Bulldogs (Montreal Canadiens) - Bell Centre, Montreal, Q.C.
The B-Sens face the North Division's Hamilton Bulldogs for the first of two meetings between the teams this season. The teams will hit the ice at the Bell Centre in Montreal, home of the Bulldogs' National Hockey League affiliate the Canadiens. The Bulldogs enter the week tied with Rochester and Abbotsford for first place in the North Division with 13 points. Hamilton is led by head coach Randy Cunneyworth, a former Ottawa Senator. David Desharnais currently leads the Bulldogs in scoring with 13 pionts (three goals and ten assists). Hamilton's roster also includes former Binghamton Senators defenseman Neil Petruic.
Saturday, Nov. 6 vs. Adirondack Phantoms (Philadelphia Flyers)
The B-Sens welcome back the Adirondack Phantoms Saturday night, after defeating them in the home opener Oct. 8 (a 5-1 Binghamton victory). The game also marks the return of former B-Sens captain Denis Hamel, who signed a PTO with the Phantoms early this week. Patrick Maroon currently leads the Phantoms in scoring, record eight points (five goals, three assists) in nine games. Adirondack comes to town looking to crawl out of the basement of the East Division. The Phantoms currently sit in eighth place with a record of 2-8-1 (five points).
Sunday, Nov. 7 vs. Syracuse Crunch (Anaheim Ducks)
The B-Sens welcome the Crunch to town for the first time this season. The two teams last met back on Oct. 16 in Syracuse (a 2-1 Crunch victory). The B-Sens hope they can solve Crunch net minder Timo Pielmeier who turned away 31 of 32 Binghamton shots when last they met. This week the Crunch added NHL veterans Nathan Paetsch and Shean Donovan. The Crunch's top scorers - Nick Bonino (two goals, seven assists in eight games) and Kyle Palmieri (seven goals, two assists in nine games) - have both been recalled to Anaheim this week.
Promotions: The first 3,000 fans in attendance Sunday will receive a B-Sens team photo.
SENS SNIPPETS...
Rookie forward Bobby Butler is tied for third overall on the B-Sens in scoring, first among all Binghamton rookies with seven points (five goals, two assists) in nine games. The Marlborough, Mass. native's seven points tie him for eighth place overall among all American Hockey League rookies in scoring.
Defenseman Derek Smith surpassed Chris Kelly on the B-Sens all-time list in games played. Smith now has 209 games under his belt, ranking him seventh overall in Binghamton Senators history.
