Binghamton Senators News Release
SPRINGFIELD, Mass.- The American Hockey League announced today that Binghamton Senators defenseman Chris Wideman has been selected as the CCM/AHL Player of the Month for October.
Wideman tallied six goals, five assists and a plus-4 rating in nine games for the Senators during October.
After being held scoreless in Binghamton's season opener, Wideman found the scoresheet in each of the last eight games of the month, beginning with an assist in a 3-2 win over Portland on Oct. 17. He had a goal and an assist on Oct. 21 at St. John's, and scored a pair of game-winning overtime goals on Oct. 22 at St. John's and Oct. 31 at Utica.
Wideman, who extended his scoring streak to nine games with two more points to begin November, currently leads all AHL defensemen and ranks second in the entire league in both goals (7) and points (13) through 10 games played. A fourth-round pick by Ottawa in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Wideman is in his third professional season and has totaled 18 goals and 64 assists for 82 points in 143 career AHL games with Binghamton. The 24-year-old native of St. Louis, Mo., played four seasons at Miami University before turning pro in 2012.
In recognition of his achievement, Wideman will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Senators home game.
