BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - The Ottawa Senators assigned today center Peter Regin to the Binghamton Senators of the American Hockey League.

Regin made his National Hockey League debut in Ottawa's 3-2 victory over the Washington Capitals last night, recording 10:08 of playing time.

Regin's appearance made him only the fifth player born in Denmark to have played in an NHL game. The others are Poul Popiel (Boston Bruins, 1965-66), Frans Nielsen (New York Islanders, 2006-07), Jannik Hansen (Vancouver Canucks, 2007-08) and Mikkel Boedker (Phoenix Coyotes, 2008-09).

In his first season with the B-Sens, Regin has scored eight goals and added 12 assists while recording 24 penalty minutes in 29 games. The 22-year old, who missed 12 games due to injury, has recorded five multi-point games. The 6-2, 195-pound centre has had two-goal games twice, including Binghamton's 6-4 win against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Friday, Jan. 16.

Regin was Ottawa's second third-round pick, 87th overall, in the 2004 NHL entry draft.

The B-Sens return to home ice on Wednesday night when the Philadelphia Phantoms visit the Arena for a 7:05 p.m. puck drop. Good seats remain for this contest. Tickets can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com, by calling ticket master at 722-7272, or at the Arena box office inside the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena.
