The visiting Binghamton Senators are a struggling outfit again this season, but they had given Toronto plenty to think about in the teams’ three previous meetings this season.
First Period
The Marlies got off to a fast start, swarming inside the Senators zone but unable to create any chances of note. Binghamton led 3-1 in shots by the first whistle after five minutes of play, with Kasimir Kaskisuo — making his season debut in the Toronto net — coming up with a couple of early saves on Jack Rodewald and Jason Akeson.
The first power play of the game led to the opening goal.
