Paced by a fast start on Friday night at CAA Arena, the Belleville Senators scored four answered times in the first 8:18 of the game earning their second straight win over the Eastern Conference-leading Utica Comets.
Belleville quickly opened the scoring 2:18 into the contest when Andrew Agozzino tipped home his 17th of the season. Just 21 seconds later, rookie defenceman Maxence Guenette found the back of the net to make it 2-0. The Senators’ strong offensive play continued as Jake Lucchini’s team-leading 20th of the season chased netminder Mareks Mittens from the Utica crease. Jonathan Aspirot would also get in on the action, notching a power play marker to give Belleville a commanding 4-0 after one period of play.
After an energetic twenty minutes, Utica settled into the game and got on the board at 12:42 of the second frame through Tyler Irvine, who capitalized on a defensive turnover before the teams skated to a scoreless third.
