The Belleville Senators\u2019 2025-26 season came to an end Saturday night in Syracuse. In their final game, the B-Sens fell 4-0 to the Crunch.<\/p>\n
A few hours later, the Ottawa Senators recalled the following players:\u00a0Tyler Boucher, Xavier Bourgault, Graeme Clarke, Arthur Kaliyev, Oskar Pettersson, and Carter Yakemchuk.<\/p>\n
Yakemchuk has just completed his first season as a professional hockey player, recording 10 goals and 30 assists \u2014 for a total of 40 points \u2014 in 54 games with Belleville. He ranked 12th\u00a0among AHL defensemen. He was the league\u2019s second-leading scorer among rookie defensemen.<\/p>\n
The first-round pick (7th\u00a0overall) in the 2024 NHL Draft made his NHL debut in late March. He had the opportunity to play in four games before suffering an upper-body injury. In his very first game, in Detroit, he scored a goal and recorded an assist.<\/p>\n
Following his return to action with Belleville in April, he recorded four assists in four games.<\/p>\n
Kaliyev finished the season leading the American Hockey League in goals. He scored 40 goals in 70 games. Acquired in a trade in March, Clarke finished the season strong, recording 19 points in 15 games with Belleville. Bourgault had by far his most productive season of his career. The former first-round pick of the Edmonton Oilers tallied 57 points in 70 games. Boucher and Pettersson also reached new personal highs.<\/p>\n
