After an electrifying 2-0-0 start to the season, the Belleville Senators completely flopped this past week - losing all three matches against Rochester and Springfield (x2). There’s a lot to unpack this week, so let’s get into it.
Belleville kicked things off with a nailbiting overtime loss to the Rochester Americans. In my season preview, I predicted that Rochester could be a team that dropped out of the playoff race, losing high flying forwards like JJ Peterka and Jack Quinn to the NHL. It would appear that thought was premature.
A familiar feeling was in the Belleville dressing room Wednesday evening, though, as they once again were unable to maintain a lead.
