Sens on Special Teams: Power Play: 1/5 | Penalty Kill:5/5 Sound Bytes: Head Coach Troy Mann “Providence has always been a good team, and this year they’ve had a lot of ups and downs with Covid and lineup changes with Boston, but they’ve certainly been on a roll. They’re one of the hottest teams in the AHL at 9-1 in their last ten. We talked about that this morning. One of the messages was that this week we have a lot of out-of-divisional games that we are not used to, so we felt Providence being first in the Atlantic and Manitoba sitting second right behind Chicago. They’re a formidable opponent this weekend. For us to get four out of six points, we’re going to have to play good hockey. ” Links: |Box Score |Highlights |Troy Mann| On the Schedule: The Belleville Senators return to action Friday when they visit the Manitoba Moose.
