The Belleville Senators mounted a big comeback last night but it wasn’t quite enough to erase a four goal deficit.
Belleville scored three goals in the final ten minutes but fell to the Laval Rocket 5-4.
Rookies Mark Kastelic, Angus Crookshank and Cole Reinhardt and Parker Kelly scored for the B-Sens. Crookshank has two goals and nine assists in nine games since joining Belleville from the University of New Hampshire. During the post game ZOOM conference Crookshank says he’s adapting to the professional game.
