On a sleepy Saturday afternoon saw the Canadiens’ fourth line veterans and rookies triumph over the Ottawa Senators.
As is tradition, Pageau had a scoring chance right off the opening face off, but it would be Paul Byron putting away a behind-the-net pass from Torrey Mitchell who opened the scoring at 00:37 into the first.
As one of a very small handful of veterans, Byron had quite a good game overall, even singlehandedly hounding three Sens in their own end on the first penalty kill of the game.
Mitchell, who had been having a really solid game, got an accidental stick to the face, and did not return, playing a mere 3:04.
