OTTAWA - The Ottawa 67's remained undefeated at TD Place with a 4-1 victory over the Belleville Bulls on Friday night, capturing the team's fifth consecutive win on home ice.

After a slow start in the opening 20 and falling behind on a Jordan Subban goal during an effort coach Jeff Brown tagged "probably the worst" period of the team's season, Ottawa kicked it into gear and took control.

Jeremiah Addison scored the equalizer in the middle period, rookie Travis Barron got his fifth goal of the season early in the third to give Ottawa the lead, then captain Travis Konecny counted his first of the season on home ice during a power play to give his team a comfortable advantage.

"It felt good to get that one out of the way, but it probably felt a lot better getting that win," said Konecny who has three goals and 12 points this season.

Defenceman Evan de Haan, acquired in a trade earlier this month with Sudbury, scored his first goal in an Ottawa uniform later to seal it for the 67's, who balanced the team record to 8-8-0-1, no small feat considering a dozen of those 17 games were played away from the national capital.

Liam Herbst made 22 saves for Ottawa, which fired 36 shots at Belleville goalie Charlie Graham.

The 67's continue the team's extended home stand on Sunday against the Guelph Storm. Face off at TD Place is at 2 p.m.
