Published on March 10, 2018 under American Hockey League (AHL)
Belleville Senators News Release
The set-up
The Belleville Senators will look to rebound after Friday's defeat to the Laval Rocket as the two teams do battle once again tonight.
Belleville (22-35-2-3) are on a three-game losing streak and sit seventh in the North Division standings.
Laval (23-29-6-2) are fifth in the North and sit 16 points behind Utica for a playoff spot.
Saturday's game will be the final time Belleville visits Laval this season.
Roster notes
The Senators signed defenceman Matt Petgrave to a second professional tryout Friday morning.
Danny Taylor started Friday against the Rocket so all signs point to Marcus Hogberg getting the nod tonight against Laval.
Max McCormick, Jim O'Brien and Erik Burgdoerfer are still with Ottawa while Kyle Flanagan, Francis Perron and Christian Jaros have yet to return for the Senators.
Previous history
Belleville is 2-6-1-0 against Laval this year and suffered a 4-3 overtime loss Friday. Laval will make two more visits to the Yardmen to conclude the season series on March 25 and Apr. 7.
