November 20, 2019 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Belleville Senators News Release


The set-up

An all-Canadian match-up goes down at CAA Arena tonight as the Belleville Senators host the Manitoba Moose.

The Senators (8-7-1-0) had its six-game point streak ended Saturday night by Milwaukee but the Sens are still an impressive 6-3-1-0 over its last 10 games. The Sens need to find a way to stop conceding though as their 62 goals against are the second most in the AHL. Belleville's 16 games played are still the fewest in the North Division as the Sens sit only three points out of a playoff spot in the early going.

Manitoba (9-8-0-0) have been rolling as of late as they enter tonight's game on a six-game win streak and are 8-2 over their last 10 contests. The Moose sit fourth in the Central Division.

Roster notes

The Sens won't have Max Veronneau after he was recalled by Ottawa Monday but did recall d-man Trent Bourque from Brampton and signed defenceman Chris Martenet to a PTO too.

The Senators are still without Joseph LaBate, Andreas Englund and Stuart Percy while Jordan Murray, Hubert Labrie and Jonathan Davidsson will also miss out.

Expect Marcus Hogberg to start in goal tonight.

Previous history

The Sens and Moose have met eight times previously with Belleville holding a 4-3-1-0 record. The Senators have struggled at home against Manitoba though, winning just once.
