BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – The Ottawa Senators announced today that the club has assigned forward Phil Varone to the Binghamton Senators. Varone is expected to play this Wednesday for the B-Sens in Utica.
Varone, 25, appeared in three games for the Ottawa Senators to start the 2016-17 season, including an overtime win over Toronto on opening night.
