Belleville Senators Win Two, Keep Calder Cup Playoff Hopes Alive

The Belleville Senators lost 3-5 to the Utica Comets on Friday, February 27, 2026, but remain in the Calder Cup playoff hunt with 16 games remaining. The result came during a busy divisional weekend that also included victories that helped maintain their position.

Senators Secure Key Weekend Wins

Belleville defeated the Toronto Marlies 4-2 on Saturday afternoon to even the season's Battle of Ontario series at one game each. The team then completed a weekend sweep of the Hershey Bears with a 5-2 victory on the second night, finishing the season series with a 3-1-0-0 record against them. These outcomes provided concrete points during a stretch that kept the club competitive in the standings.

Bulldogs Rugby Team Records Multiple Victories

The Belleville Bulldogs rugby team posted multiple wins on Saturday and Sunday, including a 31-12 U16 Girls Red victory over Cobourg/Lindsay and a 64-0 U14 Girls win over Oshawa Lindsay. These results added to local club activity alongside the AHL schedule.

High School Results Offer Limited Recent Data

High school sports results from Belleville are limited to older data, including a February 2026 boys basketball win of 44-37 for Henderson and a prior season football title loss to Howell of 57-36. The scarcity of fresh figures means attention stays on the professional and club levels for current momentum.

The 16 games remaining after the February 27 loss to the Utica Comets give the Senators a defined window to build on the points earned against the Marlies and Bears. Local fans can follow updates through the team's official channels as the schedule continues.
