It's almost time.
With the preseason winding down, the Canadiens will finish off their preseason with a home-and-home against the Ottawa Senators. The preseason-concluding miniseries is a tradition between the two squads, going back at least three years.
The Canadiens lineup is beginning to take shape, and beyond the notable absence of a recuperating Max Pacioretty (which looks set to end soon), the roster is approaching its fully potency. With the process of establishing chemistry between linemates well underway, this evening's game may be a good opportunity to tighten up some tactics.
