Binghamton Senators win 4-2 over the visiting Hartford Wolf Pack in front of a festive holiday crowd after the week long Christmas break. The Sens were led by Cole Schneider (1g 2a), Matt Puempel (3a) and Eric O'Dell (2g) as rookie goaltender Matt O'Connor wins his third of the season and second in a row to improve to 3-9-2, 3.53 GAA 0.881 SV%.
Hartford (12-16-2-0) kept chipping away all night keeping them within striking distance by narrowing several two goal leads on separate occasions, but it was the Senators (8-17-2-0) that brought the energy along with some emotion and a strong outing by O'Connor, as he settled in making 24 saves.
