Belleville Senators News Release


The Belleville Senators moved up to fifth place in the American Hockey League's North Division standings this week after splitting a home-and-home set with the division-leading Laval Rocket (AHL affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens). Belleville came from behind to win on their first trip to Laval this season on Friday before falling on home ice the following night.

Here's a look back at last week's results as the Sens begin a five-game road swing this week, taking them to Syracuse, Bridgeport, and eventually, Manitoba.

Friday, November 22, 2024: Belleville Senators - 4 @ Laval Rocket - 2

An early two-goal deficit failed to faze the visiting Belleville Senators on Friday night, as they stormed back with four consecutive goals to down the host Laval Rocket 4-2 at Place Bell. Wyatte Wylie's first goal as a Senator early in the third period proved to be the game-winner, while Matthew Highmore led the scoresheet with a career-high three-assist game. Malcolm Subban stopped 22 of 24 shots faced to earn his third win of the season.
