Ottawa at Montreal

Ottawa is out for payback for a 4-3 overtime loss in the first meeting on Nov. 1 as the Senators also look to snap a current two-game skid. They are 6-0 in their past six games after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game, 5-0 when their opponent allowed at least five goals in their last game. Montreal comes off a 7-2 loss to Colorado, and the Canadiens have lost four straight after scoring two or fewer goals. Montreal has lost five of six against the Eastern Conference and six of nine games overall. Sam Montembeault will start for the Canadiens, and he is 5-5-1 with a 3.48 goals-against average and an .864 save percentage. Montembeault had lost four straight decisions before finally getting a win against Vegas. Take the Senators on the puckline.
