There were no transactions between Belleville, Ottawa and/or Allen overnight. The Senators will remain without Angus Crookshank and Tyler Kleven, who were recently recalled to NHL Ottawa. A complete
list of recent transactions can be found here. Full lineup details, including tonight’s alignment, will be available prior to puck drop via the B-Sens social media channels (@BellevilleSens).
Who to Watch:
Egor Sokolov has been piling on the shots of late and was the only Senator to solve Jakub Dobes on Friday night. Sokolov had eight shots on net yesterday, one of which ended up being his 18th goal of the season, and has put 22 shots on net over his last four games. Meanwhile, defender Lassi Thomson, who had four shots last night, will become Belleville’s all-time leader in goals by a defenceman the next time he scores. Fans will also likely be keeping an eye on rookie forward Stephen Halliday, who had a shot on net in his AHL debut on Friday and played time in various situations including the power play.
Laval’s leading scorer struck again on Friday, with Brandon Gignac notching his 19th goal and 55th point of the season. It was also Gignac’s ninth point against Belleville (five goals, four assists) in nine games this season. Defender Logan Mailloux continues to be among the league leaders in a handful of categories including, rookie points (9th), rookie assists (5th), rookie penalty minutes (87), rookie minor penalties (31), defensive points (3rd), defensive goals (14th), and defensive minor penalties (3rd). He had an assist and four penalty minutes on Friday night.
