BINGHAMTON -- Two games stand between the Binghamton Senators and their four-day holiday break next week.

BINGHAMTON -- The Binghamton Senators and their surging offense took a hit Tuesday morning.

Before the first significant snowfall has landed, the Syracuse Crunch already looks like a team ready for an early spring.

Binghamton Senators, 7:05 Saturday night, Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena.

The Manchester Monarchs narrowly escaped with two points in a 6-5 shootout against the Binghamton Senators at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Saturday night.

GLENS FALLS -- Mike Brodeur is alive and well. Two days after being pulled for giving up three goals in the first period at Norfolk, Brodeur shut out Adirondack, turning away 21 shots as the Binghamton Senators claimed a 5-0 American Hockey League victory Friday night in front of 3,404 at the Glens Falls Civic Center.

The Binghamton Senators and Norfolk Admirals finished up their two game series at Scope Arena on Wednesday and the Senators fell short in their attempt to sweep, due in large part to former Binghamton Senator Brandon Bochenski.

Senators prospects Cody Bass and Erik Karlsson played a game with the Binghamton Senators at Scotiabank Place Sunday.

ALBANY -- Midway through the first period Wednesday night, Albany River Rats forward Steven Goertzen broke in behind the Binghamton Senators defense and raced toward the goal.

Alexandre Giroux, who scored two goals a week ago in leading the Hershey Bears to an 8-1 victory against the Binghamton Senators, scored two more Saturday night, the second coming 71 seconds into overtime, to lift the Bears to a 3-2 victory over the Senators at Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena.

BINGHAMTON -- From a forgettable season debut to a spot in the record books, Andy Chiodo completed an impressive one-week turnaround Saturday night.

NEWARK, New Jersey -- The Ottawa Senators have had their share of problems with goaltender Ray Emery and his practice habits, but there's no such concern with New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur.

BINGHAMTON - Cody Bass knew something was strange right away. This was summertime, and for a third straight year, Bass was living just outside of Toronto with his best friend and former teammate Stefan Legein, along with Legein's three brothers and parents.
