Roster Notes: for tonight's game against the Marlies
There’s a bit of fluctuation in the Belleville lineup with a shuffle of roster moves. The Senators released forward Brandon Cutler from his professional tryout on Monday and reassigned defenceman Zachary Massicotte to the team’s ECHL affiliate in Allen, Texas. Meanwhile, a familiar face returns to Belleville as defender Jack Dougherty re-joins the team on a PTO, from the ECHL Orlando Solar Bears, where he had seven points (one goal, six assists) and a +3 rating in 19 games this season. There’s also some good news on the injury front, with Goaltender Mads Sogaard returning from a ten-game layoff. He’ll back up Antoine Bibeau, who starts in Toronto for the second straight game. Kyle Betts also returns, after missing nine games to injury.
