Share this Game Day Build-Up: Sens look to rebound from Friday loss in final meeting with the Moose January 14, 2023 Presented by Carpenters Union Local 397 Jan.13/23 vs Cleveland Monsters (NHL Affiliate: Columbus Blue Jackets) The Set-Up: After having their four-game point streak snapped last night, the Belleville Senators will look to bounce back tonight as their six-game homestand continues. The Manitoba Moose are back at CAA Arena for the second time in a week, on Bell Let’s Talk Night. Scott Sabourin was the only Senator to score on Friday, with Mads Søgaard making 27 and a pair of Josh Dunne goals for Cleveland making the difference. The Moose return to Belleville on the heels of a strange situation in Toronto last night, where they had their game with the Marlies postponed after one period, following a medical emergency in the crowd. Aside from last night, the Moose have lost back-to-back games and have just one win over their last six games played. Previous History: Tonight’s game wraps up the season series between Manitoba and Belleville, with the Sens looking to even the season series, after beating the Moose 6-1 last weekend. The home team has won all three games in the series so far, leading to a 1-2-0-0 record for Belleville. Lifetime against the Moose, the Sens are 11-10-4-0, with a 7-5-1-0 mark at CAA Arena. Roster Notes: Head Coach Troy Mann will go with 11 forwards and seven defencemen tonight, with the plan to rotate the centre position throughout the game. Jack Dougherty will draw-in on the back end, while forward Joe Carroll will get the night off. Forward Chad Yetman and goaltender Antoine Bibeau are healthy scratches tonight, with Mads Sogaard getting the start for the second night in a row. He’ll be backed up by Kevin Mandolese.
