Belleville Senators News Release


The Belleville Senators suffered a crucial loss in its quest for a North Division playoff spot after a 3-2 defeat to the Toronto Marlies.

Joseph LaBate and Jack Rodewald scored for Belleville while Marcus Hogberg stopped 26 shots. Toronto's Kasimir Kaskisuo made 25 saves while Adam Brooks, Mason Marchment and Michael Carcone had goals.

The Sens grabbed the lead at 9:09 of the first as LaBate took advantage of a Marlies line change to be left wide open in the slot as he scored his eighth of the year as Kaskisuo got a piece of the shot but couldn't keep it out.

Toronto found an equalizer with 2:17 left in the frame as Kristians Rubins' shot from just inside the blue was tipped by Brooks for his 21st of the campaign.

Belleville re-took the lead 3:36 into the second through Rodewald's 22nd as he got a piece of Drake Batherson's shot on the power play for a 2-1 lead.

But the Marlies would strike twice in a 1:18 stretch that started with Marchment as he squeezed through Christian Wolanin and Cody Goloubef to wack a dump in by Rasmus Sandin past Hogberg at 7:22. The visitors had the lead through Carcone as he buried a loose puck in front of the net and after a quick review for goaltender interference, his 20th of the year made it 3-2.

The Sens fired nine shots on goal in the third with Rodewald coming the closest but Kaskisuo got the right pad down in time to keep his one-timer out off of Justin Falk's cross-ice feed as the Sens now remain a point out of a playoff spot with Cleveland having played one less game.

Belleville is back in action Saturday when they play their final road game of the season in Toronto. The Sens conclude their regular season Sunday at home against Rochester and tickets are available.
