Photo Courtesy of Kate Frese It's a Christmas miracle! Or something like that. Somehow, the Flyers have found themselves close to a playoff spot. Despite a November that saw them win five of 14 games (including a streak of six losses that carried over from the end of October), the team now finds itself four […]
Nick Paul's first-ever AHL goal came at quite the convenient time for the Binghamton Senators on Saturday, as it lifted them to a tight-checking 2-1 win over the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Paul's goal came with 4:20 to play, and the Phantoms (14-15-1) were not able to force a tie. The goal came just 4:17 after […]
