The Belleville Senators completed their season series against the Rockford IceHogs with an impressive defensive showing as they earned a 4-1 win on Friday night at CAA Arena.
Rockford opened the scoring 14:37 into the contest when Bobby Lynch capitalized on a partial breakaway to give the visitors a 1-0 lead after twenty minutes of play.
Early into the second, Belleville equalized through a John Quenneville power play marker. That was all the tallying in the period as the two sides took a 1-1 tie into intermission. The Senators would also kill off a two-man disadvantage and a five-minute major in the middle stanza.
Just 2:02 into the final frame, Angus Crookshank found the back of the net, notching his 2oth of the campaign. Later in the stanza, the Senators secured their hard-fought victory as both Egor Sokolov and Cole Cassels scored empty netters with under two minutes remaining in regulation time.
The Belleville Senators return to action tomorrow night when they host the Rochester Americans for a 7:05 p.m. puck drop on Community Heroes Night, presented by Bell.
