SAINT JOVITE – The Sens will be packing their bags one way or another after Wednesday’s game. The Habs intend on making sure it’s not for a return trip to Montreal.
The Canadiens may hold a 3-0 series lead over the Senators, but Ottawa has proven resilient under pressure in 2015, bouncing back from a 14-point deficit in mid-February and going 23-4-4 down the stretch to clinch one of the East’s two wildcard spots. But the regular season and playoffs are two very different beasts, and the Habs have the history to prove it.
Having taken a 3-0 series lead 35 times in franchise history, Montreal has gone on to win every one of those match ups, eventually winning the best-of-7 series all 35 times.
