CLEVELAND, OH - The Belleville Senators were unable to find a late equalizer as they fell 3-2 to the Cleveland Monsters at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Saturday afternoon.

Early in the second, the Monsters regained their lead after Trey Fix-Wolansky found the back of the net with the man advantage. However, the Senators once again equalized as Angus Crookshank notched his 15th of the season. The tallying continued in the period when Cole Fonstad put home the eventual game-winner with 13:37 remaining in the stanza. The Monsters held onto their 3-2 advantage throughout a scoreless third to secure the victory.
The Senators return to action on Wednesday night as they host the Syracuse Crunch, with puck drop scheduled for 7:05 p.m from CAA Arena.
