EDMONTON — Erik Brannstrom has been sent to Belleville to get his confidence back and his game on track. The belief is defenceman Cody Goloubef, who has been out two weeks with an undisclosed injury, was on his way to join the Senators in Philadelphia. “This is the second time in a back-to-back we’ve taken him out,” Smith said of Brannstrom before the game in Edmonton. Coach Troy Mann will give Brannstrom the chance to play in every situation with Belleville, which is in a battle for a playoff spot. bgarrioch@postmedia.comTwitter: @sungarriochALSO IN SPORTSGARRIOCH GAME REPORT: Senators end five-game skid by shutting down McDavid, OilersCarleton holds off tough Ottawa in men’s basketball thrilleSNAPSHOTS: Erik Brannstrom sits Wednesday as he struggles with consistency
