The Belleville Senators went into this final series with a franchise record on the line. After winning six games in a row, the BSens needed one more to set a new record, and they would go on to do so in the opening game against the Marlies.
Just five minutes into the opening frame, Joseph LaBate and JC Beaudin scored goals 30 seconds apart to kick-start a high scoring affair. Just five minutes later, Egor Sokolov secured his 15th of the season on a play we’ve grown familiar with. Sokolov was in the right position, picked up a lose puck and blasted it into the back of the net.
