Roster Notes:
Once again, the only decisions to be made are which of Belleville’s veteran players will have the night off due to the American Hockey League’s veteran rule. There were no transactions for the B-Sens between either the National Hockey League parent club in Ottawa, or their ECHL affiliate in Allen, Texas, overnight.
Who to Watch:
Sens forward and 2023 all-star selection Egor Sokolov has been contributing consistently during the season series with Syracuse. Sokolov has four assists over four games and has been a thorn in the side of the Crunch at times, trying to keep them off their game with his gritty and aggressive play. Fellow big man up front, Zack MacEwen, scored the game-tying goal last night and has four points (three goals, one assist) in five games since returning from the NHL.
Former Wellington Dukes standout Declan Carlile has been showing his offensive flair of late for the Crunch, finding the scoresheet in five straight games (one goal, five assists). He had the game-winning goal for Syracuse at Utica on Friday night, along with three shots on goal and was rewarded with an NHL call up to Tampa Bay on January 4, 2024.
