After being held to just three shots in the first period, Belleville broke through in the middle stanza as Egor Sokolov tallied with a wrap-around effort. Later in the frame, the Senators extended their advantage to 2-1 after Matthew Wedman notched his first of the campaign when he batted home a rebound at 16:23.
In the third, the Moose forced extra time when Simon Lundmark tied the game with under twelve minutes remaining in regulation.
