March 25, 2018 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Belleville Senators News Release


The set-up

The Belleville Senators will look to win the weekend as they play its third game in less than 48 hours as they host the Laval Rocket.

Belleville (25-37-2-3) is coming off of a big win Saturday as they beat the AHL leading Toronto Marlies 4-2. With Belleville out of playoff contention, they have their eyes set on finishing fifth in the division, a spot currently occupied by Laval who are two points ahead.

Laval (24-34-7-2), who lost 5-3 to Charlotte Saturday, will look to fend off both Belleville and Binghamton for fifth place in the North Division.

Roster notes

The Senators added another weapon to their offensive arsenal in David Dzuirzynski as he signed a professional tryout agreement with the club Saturday afternoon and tallied an assist in the Sens' win over Toronto.

Sens fans will also get the chance to see Filip Gustavsson debut as he is pencilled in to start this afternoon against Laval in his first career start in North America.

Kyle Flanagan, Mike Blunden, Nick Paul, Andreas Englund and Francis Perron are out for Belleville.

Previous history

Belleville is 3-6-0-1 against Laval this season and won their last meeting 5-3 on March 10, a game in which the Sens were 3-0 down after the first period. Belleville is 1-3 against the Rocket this season at the Yardmen. The two teams will meet for the final time on April 7 in Belleville.

Who to watch

Nick Moutrey grabbed his first goal for Belleville Saturday against Toronto and it just so happened to be the game-winner. Moutrey has a goal in seven games since joining the Sens.

Rocket forward Chris Terry sits second in league scoring as he's tallied 63 points (27 goals) in 53 games with Laval this season. He has seven points in seven games against the Sens this year.
