Head Coach Troy Mann:
"It was a well-played sixty minutes on our part. I loved our start, and we emphasized the start this morning prior to the game because we felt last night we played well in the second and third and unfortunately didn't get the start we wanted, and it consequently cost us the game."
Forward Rourke Chartier:
"Obviously, you don't want to lose two in a back-to-back, and we did a really good job coming out. We've had tons of close games. I don't remember the last time we won by more than one. It was nice to open this one up and be able to sit back a little bit at the end of the game."
On the Schedule:
The Belleville Senators begin a three-game road trip in the Keystone state Tuesday, visiting the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. You can hear the game on the Senators' Official Broadcast Partner 800 AM CJBQ or see it on AHL TV. Coverage begins at 6:50 p.m with David Foot.
