Canadiens vs. Senators game recap: ‘We’re all in this together, and we’ll get out of it together’

After the Montreal Canadiens’ 4-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday evening, Canadiens interim head coach Dominique Ducharme was asked whether he would make any changes to his lineup. He looked at the camera and repeated that the Canadiens cannot make any recalls.

When he first mentioned it Friday morning, he implied it was due to daily salary cap management. While that isn’t the main reason, there is some truth to that.

Throughout the season, the Canadiens have made a habit of sending players to the taxi squad to save on the salary cap.
