Matt Taormina wasted no time in making a good impression with the Binghamton Senators.

The former Providence College defensemen signed a tryout contract earlier in the day, then scored the game-winner as Binghamton beat the Portland Pirates, 3-1, on Tuesday night in Maine.

Taormina scored on a slap shot at 4:14 of the second period and was plus-2.

"(Goalie Kellen Briggs) wasn't even in there," Taormina told Dan Hickling, who covered the game for the Binghamton Press. "It was a wide-open net. If I had missed that I would have hurt myself."

"It was amazing to come in for my first game with these guys," said Taormina. "It was a little nerve wracking at first. Until I really got to know them. They're great guys. I had fun."
