The Ottawa Senators welcomed the Montreal Canadiens to their home rink for a Monday night matchup, but which Habs team would show up? The 2017-18 season has not been easy for the Canadiens, who seem to be able to generate a lot of shots but until recently haven’t been successful at putting many goals on the board.
Fortunately, the confidence and finish Montreal exhibited on Saturday was still alive and well, as the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge exploded for eight goals, handing the Ottawa Senators an 8-3 loss. It was just the Sens’ second regulation-time loss of the year.
