The Binghamton Senators have reached the 30-game mark so it’s time to take stock and see how the team and the players are doing (for the previous ten games go here). Binghamton went 7-2-1, remaining 4th in their conference and 2nd in their division. Their 99 goals-for put them 4th in their conference, while their 74 goals allowed is 1st in the conference.

Most players continued to put up solid numbers with the extreme exception of Pat Cannone who I have to hope is battling a nagging injury. Silfverberg continues to lead the way offensively and it’s no coincidence that Mike Hoffman‘s numbers have been buffered by playing with him. It was a good stretch of games for veteran Hugh Jessiman, while fellow vet Tyler Eckford cooled off. Robin Lehner continues to dominate, leading the AHL in save percentage and only trailing former teammate Barry Brust in GAA. Other notes: Chris Wideman has his first professional points and can now perhaps challenge Fredrik Claesson for playing time; Brad Peltz spent the timeframe as a healthy scratch in Binghamton; Ben Blood continues to disappoint as a pro thus far.
The principal difference for the team since it turned the corner earlier in the season has been scoring. Great goaltending remains, but Binghamton has steadily risen among the top scoring teams in the league.
