It’s late February and the Ottawa Senators finally get a chance to pile on the misery of the Montreal Canadiens. Sure, the Habs find themselves on a four-game winning streak but even a broken clock gets it right twice a day.

The Sens rolled out these lines at practice (lots to unpack below) and DJ Smith confirmed Matt Murray will be the starter:

Tkachuk - Stützle - Gaudette
Sanford - Paul - Brown
Formenton - Tierney - Ennis
Kelly - White - Watson

Chbabot - Zub
Holden - Zaitsev
Mete - Brown

Meanwhile, Montreal implemented these lines in their most recent game (a shutout win over Buffalo on Wednesday):

Caufield - Suzuki - Anderson
Hoffman - Dauphin - Gallagher
Pitlick - Evans - Byron
Pezzetta - Poehling - Lehkonen

Romanov- Chiarot
Kulak- Petry
Clague - Wideman

Game Notes

• Ottawa has the rare statistical advantage almost across the board (especially in terms of goaltending).
