BINGHAMTON -- Down by four goals, in the waning minutes of a busy 11 days worth of scheduling, the Binghamton Senators managed to salvage an unlikely point in the standings with one final, frantic burst.

Mike Brodeur is alive and well.

Defenseman Erik Karlsson is apparently not a happy camper right now. The Ottawa Senators prospect, who has three assists through nine games this season, is heading to Binghamton to play with the American League's Sens; not exactly the destination he was hoping for when he came over from Sweden this summer.

As any one of the 7,000 fans or so actually in attendance surely noticed, it didn't take Filip Kuba long to make an impact in his return to the Senators lineup.

Erik Karlsson, nine games into his NHL career, was assigned to the Ottawa Senators' farm team in Binghamton Tuesday.
