The hottest team in the American Hockey League is … the Belleville Senators.
Zack Ostapchuk (9th) broke a 1-1 tie at 18:52 of the third period that sent Belleville to a 2-1 win over the hometown Manitoba Moose Sunday to extend their winning streak to six games.
B-Sens head coach David Bell says his team dug down for this win.
Brennan Saulnier (2nd) also scored for the Senators.
Belleville is in third place in the AHL North four points behind second place Syracuse.
Manitoba returns the trip to CAA Arena Wednesday night (7:05) before a home at home with the Toronto Marlies Friday (away) and Sunday at 2 p.m. at CAA Arena.
