It was a tough weekend for the Belleville Senators as they faced off against the Toronto Marlies and Syracuse Crunch in back-to-back games at CAA Arena. Both North Division rivals, this was an important pair of games for the BSens, who have been hovering in the middle of the division standings for the last few weeks.
On Friday night, with Toronto in town, Belleville came out flying. The first period was scoreless, which you wouldn’t expect given the 6-1 beating the BSens handed to the Marlies. It was the second period where things started to heat up with Belleville scoring four unanswered goals to take a commanding lead.
