BELLEVILLE, ON - The Belleville Senators' efforts weren't rewarded last week, on a two-game trip to visit the division-leading Cleveland Monsters (AHL Affiliate of the Columbus Blue Jackets). Here's a recap of the action, as the Sens head into the stretch drive towards the Holiday Break.

LAST WEEK'S RESULTS:

Thursday, December 14, 2023: Belleville Senators - 1 @ Cleveland Monsters - 5

The Belleville Senators played a great opening period and 17 minutes of the second, but the Cleveland Monsters showed why they're the top team in the North Division, skating to a 5-1 win at Rocket Mortgage Field House on Thursday night. Garrett Pilon scored for Belleville, while Mads Sogaard made 30 saves.

Friday, December 15, 2023: Belleville Senators - 1 @ Cleveland Monsters - 2

The Belleville Senators did about as much as they could to split their two-game set in Cleveland this week, but ran into a hot goaltender and fell 2-1 to the Monsters on Friday night, despite putting 40 shots on goal. Kevin Mandolese had an excellent performance, stopping 25 of 26 shots, while Angus Crookshank scored his team-leading 10th goal of the season.
