Montgomery Double Leads the Senators past Bruins
IslandStats.com
Blake Montgomery scored twice as the Belleville Senators secured a convincing 5-2 victory over the Providence Bruins to conclude Hockey Fights Cancer Weekend.
A lively opening period saw opportunities at both ends of the ice, but it was the hosts who broke the deadlock on the man advantage. Kasper Halttunen struck his 10th goal of the campaign, blasting a one-timer past the Providence goaltender following slick build-up play from Christian Kyrou and Philippe Daoust.
The contest burst into life during an eventful second frame. Just 42 seconds after the restart, Dans Locmelis levelled for the Bruins courtesy of assists from Riley Duran and Ivan Ivan.
Belleville's response was swift. Djibril Toure and Ryan Suzuki combined neatly to set up Montgomery, who restored the Senators' lead with a composed finish.
The momentum remained firmly with the home side as Tyler Boucher pounced on a rebound at 7:35—cashing in after neat approach work by Eskild Bakke Olsen and Xavier Bourgault—to stretch the advantage to 3-1.
Providence threatened a comeback midway through the period when Locmelis batted a loose puck out of mid-air for his second of the night, trimming the deficit to 3-2. However, parity was short-lived. Just six seconds later, Luke Ellinas stripped possession straight from the face-off and raced clear to bury his second goal in as many games, reinstating Belleville's two-goal cushion.
Montgomery put the result beyond doubt in the final period. Suzuki worked the puck up the boards to Oskar Pettersson, who picked out Montgomery cutting toward the crease before the forward executed a sharp wrap-around finish to seal the win.
At the other end, netminder Jackson Parsons delivered a stellar display, turning aside 31 of 33 shots to record his third consecutive victory and ensure Belleville took maximum points.

Montgomery & Belleville Senators see off Phantoms
IslandStats.com
The Belleville Senators struck twice in quick succession in the third period to secure a hard-fought 3-1 victory over the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on Hockey Fights Cancer Weekend.
Belleville weathered an early storm from the visitors before breaking the deadlock in the opening frame. After Phantoms goaltender Aleksei Kolosov turned aside an initial close-range effort, Tyler Boucher worked the puck to Xavier Bourgault, who picked out Djibril Touré to sweep home his second goal of the season.
A scoreless second period followed, defined by end-to-end chances and fine netminding. Lehigh Valley edged the frame on the shot counter 9-8, carrying a 21-19 overall advantage into the final period.
The Phantoms responded instantly after the restart, drawing level just 18 seconds into the third. A rebound carved out by Danila Klimovich and Carl Grundstrom fell kindly to Jacob Gaucher, who buried his fifth of the campaign to make it 1-1.
Parity proved short-lived, however, as Belleville produced a decisive two-goal surge just before the midway mark.
Philippe Daoust and Oskar Pettersson battled along the boards to set up Bourgault, who executed a sharp wraparound finish to restore the Senators' lead. Moments later, Luke Ellinas seized on a neutral-zone turnover and slid the puck through Kolosov’s five-hole to notch his first AHL goal and establish a crucial two-goal cushion.
Lehigh Valley threw men forward in the dying stages, but Belleville netminder Jackson Parsons stood tall, turning aside 34 of 35 shots on the night to comfortably see out the win.

Toronto & UBC share U Sports Championship Spoils in Opener
IslandStats.com
Lauren Cardwell and the University of Toronto Varsity Blues kicked off their national championship campaign with a fiercely contested 1-1 draw against reigning Canada West champions the UBC Thunderbirds in Waterloo.
The tournament opener on Warrior Field pit two regional heavyweights against each other, with Ontario champions Toronto trading blows early against an equally determined UBC side in a breathless opening phase.
The Varsity Blues struck first blood courtesy of first-year forward Vanessa Marques, who showed nerves of steel to slot home a cleanly struck penalty stroke past the reach of UBC shot-stopper Robyn Goh.
Toronto’s lead, however, proved short-lived.
Just four minutes later, the Thunderbirds replied in chaotic fashion. Pouncing on a loose-ball scramble inside the circle, Amy Stelling reacted quickest to nudge home the equaliser and drag her side level.
From there, the fixture developed into a tactical, end-to-end battle of attrition. Possession shifted frequently across the midfield, with neither side able to carve out sustained control for lengthy stretches.
At the back, Toronto relied heavily on second-year goalkeeper Mary Yang, who produced a string of vital stops to keep UBC at bay. Ahead of her, experienced defender Kirsten D'Silva and 2026 National Player of the Year Maggie Mullins were instrumental in containing a relentless Vancouver attack. Mullins was later named Player of the Match for a commanding defensive display.
At the opposite end, Goh stood equally tall between the posts for UBC, repelling Toronto's set-piece opportunities to ensure the opening clash of the national showcase concluded with the points shared.
