Gabriel Pizza Gameday Build-Up: Senators Aim to Tame Wolf Pack

Game Details

Date: Saturday, November 8, 2025

Opponent: Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL affiliate: New York Rangers)

Context and Season Overview

The Belleville Senators will play only four of their 13 November games at home in CAA Arena. Tonight marks the first home game this month as they face the Hartford Wolf Pack, continuing a three-game stretch in three days.

After being shut out in Utica on Friday, the Senators are seeking to regain their offensive rhythm. The recent 3-0 loss dropped Belleville below .500 with a 4-5-1-0 record early in the season.

Despite the setback against the Comets, Belleville has performed well overall lately, winning four of their last six games and outscoring opponents 22-19 in that span.

Hartford Wolf Pack Status

Hartford enters the game trying to end a three-game skid (0-1-2-0), including a 4-2 loss to Laval last night.

Historical Matchup

Belleville and Hartford meet only twice each season, with tonight's game being their first of two matchups in 2025-26 and the 15th all-time encounter.

Belleville holds a strong overall record against the Wolf Pack at 9-4-1-0, including a 4-3-0-0 record at home. Last season, the teams split their two-game series.

"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."

Author's Summary

The Senators head into a rare home game determined to bounce back offensively while continuing to build momentum despite a tough start to the season.
