Former Nelson Minor Hockey defenceman Geoff Kinrade and his Binghamton Senators’ surprising romp through the American Hockey League post season continues.
After upsetting the Manchester Monarchs in an epic seven game series to open the playoffs, the Ottawa Senators farm team holds a 3-1 series lead over of the Portland Pirates after downing the higher ranked team 5-1 on Monday night in Binghamton, New York.
The Senators came into the playoffs as the seventh ranked team in the Eastern Conference. The Pirates finished the regular season in second place in the conference and were the Atlantic Division champions.
The series now shifts back to Portland, Maine where the Senators will have two games to close out the series and move onto the Eastern Conference finals against Wilkes Barre or Charlotte.
