Belleville Senators News Release


BELLEVILLE, ON -The Belleville Senators continue to be in the thick of a battle for playoff seeding in the American Hockey League's North Division, after a pair of defeats on the road this past week. The B-Sens lost in Toronto and Utica, and have slipped into fourth place in the North, but are just one point back of Rochester in third place as they head into a three-game week. Here's a recap of last week's action, ahead of upcoming games against Utica, Syracuse and Bridgeport.

Wednesday March 6, 2024: Belleville Senators - 2 @ Toronto Marlies - 3

Despite outshooting the Marlies 30-29, the Senators fell 3-2 during a school day game at Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto. Egor Sokolov and Zack Ostapchuk scored for the Senators, while Mark Sinclair stopped 21/23 shots he faced after coming into the game to relieve Kevin Mandolese, who stopped 5/6 shots before leaving the contest.
