After starting the 2023-24 season with a rollercoaster of performances, something has clicked for the Belleville Senators, and it all started right before Christmas.
Au fil des années, les Sénateurs d’Ottawa ont vu de nombreux gardiens de but se placer devant leur filet. Bien que Craig Anderson ait gardé la cage de Sénateurs pendant près d’une décennie, il n’y a toujours pas eu de gardien qui a su prendre le relais de manière définitive depuis.
Welcome back to the 2023 edition of our Top 25 Under 25 feature. You can check out the full list so far here. Today, we go between the pipes for the first time: With Kevin Mandolese, it feels like everybody is on the same page.
So far in our series previewing the Belleville Senators, we've talked about the intriguing new additions that the Sens front office injected into Belleville , and we've done a quick runthrough of some of the more exciting prospects who are entering the fold.
The Ottawa Senators fired Assistant GM Trent Mann and signed Kevin Mandolese to a one-year deal. Nothing else happened, and you want FIVE thoughts for Friday???
Per Bruce Garrioch, the Sens have parted ways with Assistant GM Trent Mann. Though the timing is a little surprising, the move itself is not considering his brother Troy Mann was fired as the Belleville coach back in February.
Angus Crookshank and Kevin Mandolese shone as the Belleville Senators took home four important points this weekend. The Belleville Senators had another successful pair of games this weekend, making them winners in seven of their last ten games.
In game two of a back-to-back, the Ottawa Senators didn’t have enough left in the tank to take down the league leading Boston Bruins in a Family Day showdown.
On Feb 14, 2023, Kevin Mandolese appeared in his first NHL game. It was a less-than-ideal scenario for the rookie goaltender, who was forced into duty after both of the Ottawa Senators’ goalies were injured.
Best goalie tandem in the league. Not up for discussion. There were Hamburglar vibes tonight. Facing the New York Islanders on the second half of a back-to-back and one of the best goaltenders on the planet in Ilya Sorokin, the Ottawa Senators needed somebody to step up in a massive way if they wanted to win their fifth game in their last six.
Tim Stutzle and Drake Batherson scored in the shootout and goalie Kevin Mandolese, making his NHL debut, recorded 46 saves before turning back a pair of shootout attempts for the visiting Ottawa Senators, who beat the New York Islanders 3-2 in Elmont, N.Y.
As expected, the Ottawa Senators have recalled goaltender Kevin Mandolese from their AHL affiliate, the Belleville Senators. The move comes after Senators goalie Anton Forsberg had to be stretchered off the ice during last night’s game due to a lower-body injury.
Saturday’s matinee against Edmonton didn’t go well for Ottawa as they dropped a 6-3 decision. On top of that, goaltender Anton Forsberg had to be stretchered off the ice after suffering what appeared to be a knee injury just before the sixth goal was scored. Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch noted postgame that an update on Forsberg isn’t expected until Sunday.
Murray has a 10-18-1 record with an .892 save percentage and 3.35 GAA, easily the worst numbers of his career.
