Cole Reinhardt, Mark Kastelic and Egor Sokolov scored for the Sens, with Rourke Chartier netting the shootout winner and Mads Sogaard stopping 21 of 24 shots, plus three-of-four shooters in the shootout. The Senators were able to shut down the Amerks offence for the most part, keeping Rochester without a shot for a 27-minute span, from early in the second period, to early in the third. Previous History: Belleville’s win on Friday night gives them a 2-1-0-0 advantage in the series and improves their lifetime record against the Amerks to 11-8-2-0, with a 7-4-0-0 record at Blue Cross Arena. Following the game on Saturday, the Senators and Americans won’t meet again until March 4, 2022, and March 5, 2022, at CAA Arena in Belleville. Roster Notes: There’s not expected to be much change to Belleville’s lineup today, from last night. Head Coach Troy Mann has indicated that Cody Goloubef will swap in for Zac Leslie and Filip Gustavsson will start in goal, in place of Mads Sogaard. Full lineup details will be available closer to puck drop.
