Baby Senators lose Corey Locke

NEW YORK — The Binghamton Senators took a big hit with the loss of last year’s AHL MVP, Corey Locke, for a month. He got slashed in the hand during Friday’s 4-2 win over the Albany Devils.
Nikita Filatov also got flattened by a illegal check to the head from Tim Sestito late in the second period but he returned for the third period. He was a question mark going into Saturday’s game against Rochester.
With Kaspars Daugavins with the Senators, and with Binghamton captain Mark Parrish (back) also ailing, the baby Senators are getting a bit shorthanded.

About Allen Panzeri

After three years of teaching English at the University of British Columbia, Allen Panzeri began his career in journalism in 1979 at the Medicine Hat News, where he covered Kelly Hrudey and the Tigers while learning about block heaters, rodeo, and curling. In 1981, he moved north to the Edmonton Journal, where he covered boxing, the Edmonton Drillers of the North American Soccer League, and the University of Alberta Golden Bears and Pandas for four years, before taking a 10-year hiatus from sports to write editorials, cover primary, secondary, and university education, and watch the beginnings of the Ralph Klein era at the provincial legislature. Traded to the Citizen in 1995, he accepted an offer to return to sports and cover the Ottawa Lynx, lucking into a front-row seat for their 1995 International League championship, and since then has covered the Senators and typed out the occasional article on golf.
