The Belleville Senators have yet to open the home portion of the 2025-26 schedule, and already, there are some roster moves for the coaching staff, players, and fans to adjust to.
After dressing in both of Belleville’s games on the road last weekend, forward Arthur Kaliyev was recalled to Ottawa on Thursday morning. The 24-year-old, who signed with the Senators this past summer, collected two assists and seven shots on goal in Belleville’s pair of season-opening losses.
With a forward spot opening up in Belleville, the Senators have also reassigned forward Danny Katic to Belleville from the club’s ECHL affiliate in Texas, the Allen Americans. The 25-year-old from Porcupine, Ontario, signed a one-year AHL deal with the Senators back in August and played in the Prospects Showdown in Montreal, as well as both of Belleville’s preseason games.
Additionally, defenceman Donovan Sebrango is heading to the Florida Panthers after being claimed by the Panthers off waivers on Wednesday. Sebrango played most of the past two seasons with Belleville (eight goals, 19 assists, in 85 games played), while also playing four games in Allen and making his NHL debut with Ottawa in 2024-25.
