Canadiens and Senators Clash Again in AHL Preseason with Fights
The longstanding rivalry between the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators intensified once again during a preseason game in the American Hockey League (AHL) on October 3, 2025. The Laval Rocket faced off against the Belleville Senators, resulting in a decisive 5-2 victory for Laval, mirroring the Canadiens’ recent performance against Ottawa.
Just 13 minutes into the match, the intensity escalated as three fights broke out. This match followed a similar pattern to a previous encounter between the teams, where physicality and aggression set the tone. The Rocket demonstrated dominance on the ice, while the brawls underscored the fierce competition that characterizes this rivalry.
Among the notable fights, Israel Mianscum challenged Jake Chiasson at 1:54, while Will Dineen took on Djibril Touré, who stands at an imposing 6-foot-7, at 10:04. The third fight involved Tyler Thorpe, who defended teammate Mark Estapa by engaging Braidan Simmons-Fischer at 12:23. These altercations reflect the intense atmosphere that surrounds any meeting between these two organizations.
Strong Performances Fuel Victory
The game saw impressive performances from several players, with Sean Farrell and Alex Belzile each contributing a goal and an assist, positioning themselves as key candidates for a call-up to the Canadiens. Farrell’s skill was evident when he set up a goal that was deftly redirected by a defenseman, showcasing the teamwork essential for success.
In addition to Farrell and Belzile, Joe Dunlap, Tobie Bisson, and Luke Tuch also found the back of the net, amplifying the Rocket’s scoring prowess. Tuch’s breakaway goal, assisted by Jesse Kidney and Tyler Del Gaizo, highlighted the offensive firepower of the Rocket against their rivals.
In net, Jacob Fowler played a significant role, stopping 14 of 15 shots during his 40-minute appearance, contributing to the team’s overall success. The Rocket’s victory adds to the ongoing narrative of their dominance within the AHL.
Looking Ahead
The Laval Rocket will continue their preseason preparations with a warm-up game against the Toronto Marlies scheduled for today at 15:00. As the teams gear up for the regular season, fans can expect the rivalry between the Canadiens and Senators to remain a focal point, both on and off the ice.
The intensity and physicality displayed in this matchup serve as a reminder of the fierce competition that defines the AHL, as well as the NHL. With players eager to prove their worth, both teams are poised for an exciting season ahead.
