But they did not get off to a great start. It was all Marlies in the opening frame. Kerby Rychel opened the scoring, going backdoor and finishing off a Colin Greening rebound to make it 1-0. Just over a minute later, Andreas Johnsson tallied his second in as many games to double the Marlies lead. The Senators did put up a little fight in the frame, Gabriel Gagne came very close to cutting into the Marlies lead. He beat Calvin Pickard but not the crossbar, keeping it 2-0. That proved costly for the Sens as the Marlies scored with less than a minute remaining in the period. It was a Greening in the slot beating Chris Driedger to make it 3-0. The Senators headed to the dressing room trailing by three. In the second period the Senators were a little sharper, but the Marlies still enjoyed more possession than Belleville. Francis Perron had two glorious chances, one coming on a breakaway, the other on a point blank shot from the slot. Unfortunately for Belleville, he shot high on both occasions. That cost the Senators again as Chris Mueller deflected a Calle Rosen shot to make it 4-0. After 40 minutes, Toronto led by four. The Senators did strike back in the third period. Gagne went five-hole on Pickard off a nice feed from Perron to make it 4-1, but that was as close as Belleville got. Kasperi Kapanen added an empty-netter to make it 5-1 and that was the final score in this one. Belleville got swept by Toronto in this mini two-game series, they will be looking for some revenge Friday when they welcome the Marlies to Yardmen Arena. But before that, the Senators return home for a match against the Laval Rocket on Wednesday. ▲ ▼ Chris Kelly, Erik Burgdoerfer, Patrick Sieloff |
