Roster Notes:
There will be a couple of changes on the backend for Belleville tonight. Lassi Thomson, who had a pair of assists on Friday, will be out due to an upper body injury. Xavier Bernard, who was called up from the Atlanta Gladiators (ECHL) earlier this week, will take his place. Dillon Heatherington is also back in the lineup, after being reassigned by Ottawa (NHL), with Jack Dougherty out as a healthy scratch to make room. Belleville’s other scratches include Cedric Pare, Colby Williams, Tyrell Goulbourne, Kevin Mandolese and Jonathan Aspirot.
Who to Watch:
Senators forward Andrew Agozzino is on a team-high four-game point streak (two goals, two assists) coming into Saturday night’s contest and had a goal with three shots on net on Friday.
