As Head Coach Troy Mann put it, “it was a tale of two hockey games” for the Belleville Senators on Monday night at CAA Arena as the Laval Rocket rallied from a one-goal deficit scoring five unanswered times en route to a 5-1 win.
Belleville opened the scoring at 5:38 of the first period through Cole Reinhardt after captain Logan Shaw found him in the low slot. The Senators would take a 1-0 lead into the first intermission. Early in the second period, Laval got on the board, notching the first of their five unanswered tallies on the night as Danick Martel (2), Nicolas Mattinen all found the back of the net for the Rocket in the frame.
The visitors continued their strong play in the third, as Rafael Harvey-Pinard capitalized on a mixup at the side of the Belleville net to score his fourth shorthanded goal of the season at 5:48. While Kevin Roy hit the empty net to make it 5-1.
