Ottawa has struggled to get over the .500 mark on the season. After three straight wins to get to .500 they went to Montreal and lost badly 5-2. It was the seventh time in the last nine meetings, the Canadiens have prevailed in this series. The Senators have had few answers as they have been outscored 33-18 in the nine games, managing just two goals per contest. Montreal is now on a stretch of six straight games of allowing three goals or fewer, while the offense has produced five scores in two of their last three. Take Montreal.
