The Belleville Senators concluded their regular-season finale with a 5-2 win over the Toronto Marlies, eliminating their provincial rivals from playoff contention.
Belleville opened the scoring at 5:55 of the first period when Cole Reinhardt notched his 15th of the season on a Logan Shaw rebound. That would be all the tallying in the frame as the Senators took a 1-0 lead after a physical twenty minutes of play.
The Senators extended their advantage to 2-0 through Logan Shaw, who found the back of the net forty seconds into the middle stanza. The Senators’ strong showing continued as Clark Bishop made it 3-0 after he split the defence and finished with a nifty backhander. The Marlies got on the board with 2:45 left in the period through a Josh Ho-Sang redirection.
In the third period, Clark Bishop buried his second of the contest and the Senators’ first empty netter of the evening with 3:18 remaining. Toronto would get one back as Nick Robertson made it 4-2 late in the frame before Andrew Agozzino ended any hope of a Marlies comeback by hitting an empty net with forty seconds left to play in regulation to secure the win.
