BELLEVILLE, ON - The Belleville Senators finished their two-game season series with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Thursday night, dropping a 5-1 decision at CAA Arena.
Four of the game's six goals were scored on the man advantage.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton had the only scoring in the first, courtesy of two former members of the Sens organization. Jonathan Gruden beat Mads Sogaard at 3:33 and Colin White followed up later in the period, to make it 2-0.
Max Guenette would score Belleville's only goal of the game just under three minutes into the second period, slamming home a one-time pass from Roby Jarventie on the power play.

Poulin scored his second of the game, again on the power play, at 6:30 of the third period and despite about half-a-dozen shots off the post, the Senators couldn't find a way to beat Joel Blomqvist more than once.
