The Belleville Senators will play only four of their 13 November games at home in the CAA Arena. Their first home game this month is tonight against the Hartford Wolf Pack, kicking off a busy three-game weekend.
The Sens are eager to regain their offensive momentum after a 3-0 shutout loss in Utica on Friday. This defeat dropped Belleville's record to 4-5-1-0, falling below .500 early in the season. However, that loss was unusual compared to their recent form, having won four of their last six games and outscoring opponents 22-19 during that stretch.
Hartford is entering this game aiming to end a three-game losing streak (0-1-2-0), including a 4-2 loss to Laval last night.
“The loss last night dips Belleville back below the .500 mark at 4-5-1-0 on the young season, but the 3-0 defeat was an anomaly given how the Sens have played of late.”
“Even with the loss to the Comets, the Senators have still won four of their last six games, and have outscored opponents 22-19 over that stretch.”
“Hartford, meanwhile, is looking to halt a three-game slide (0-1-2-0) that includes a 4-2 loss last night in Laval.”
Tonight’s game is a crucial opportunity for both teams to build momentum as the season progresses.
Author's summary: The Belleville Senators return home to face the Hartford Wolf Pack aiming to recover after a rare loss, while Hartford looks to stop a losing streak in this pivotal November matchup.
