Belleville Sens return to win column with 3-2 win over Lehigh Valley

November 5, 2022

The Belleville Senators returned to the win column on Friday night as they defeated the Lehigh Valley Phantoms 3-2 at CAA Arena.

Belleville opened the scoring at 10:26 of the first period when Rourke Chartier found the back of the net with a shorthanded marker after he collected a nifty feed from Ridly Greig to take a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes of play.

In the second frame, the aforementioned Chartier notched his second of the night when he beat Sam Ersson with a one-timer with the man advantage to make it 2-0.

Early in the final frame, the Senators extended their advantage to 3-0 through a Maxence Guenette  power play tally, his first of the season. Lehigh Valley responded as Olle Lycksell registered his first career AHL goal. The Phantoms continued their  push at the 9:14 mark when Jackson Cates brought the score to within one. Despite the late tally, Belleville continued to shut down the visitors’ attack throughout the night to secure the win.

The Senators continue their weekend homestand tomorrow night at 7:05 p.m versus the Toronto Marlies.
