Canadiens vs. Senators game recap: The Sens give the Habs a taste of their own medicine

It was supposed to be a battle at the bottom of the Atlantic Division between the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators, but both organizations have had surprising starts to the season. They have both taken on the identity of hard working teams and it seems to be a winning recipe early in the season as Ottawa beat the Canadiens 4-3 in overtime on Saturday night.

The game got off to a crazy start with a high-event first few seconds. Some lapses in the defensive coverage led to the Senators getting a great scoring chance.
