Here’s a recap of the action, as the Sens head into the stretch drive towards the Holiday Break. LAST WEEK’S RESULTS: Thursday, December 14, 2023: Belleville Senators – 1 @ Cleveland Monsters – 5 The Belleville Senators played a great opening period and 17 minutes of the second, but the Cleveland Monsters showed why they’re the top team in the North Division, skating to a 5-1 win at Rocket Mortgage Field House on Thursday night. Garrett Pilon scored for Belleville, while Mads Sogaard made 30 saves. GAME RECAP | BOX SCORE Friday, December 15, 2023: Belleville Senators – 1 @ Cleveland Monsters – 2 The Belleville Senators did about as much as they could to split their two-game set in Cleveland this week, but ran into a hot goaltender and fell 2-1 to the Monsters on Friday night, despite putting 40 shots on goal. Kevin Mandolese had an excellent performance, stopping 25 of 26 shots, while Angus Crookshank scored his team-leading 10th goal of the season.
