The final game before the trade deadline is always a strange one.
Nick Paul was sitting out just to make sure he doesn’t get injured before a potential trade, and who knows if others such as Austin Watson, Zach Sanford, and Josh Brown could be on the move before Monday’s deadline. The Ottawa Senators were facing the Montreal Canadiens tonight for just their second matchup of the season. Although Montreal had lost their two previous games, they were 8-5-0 in their last 13 games coming into tonight.
The beginning of the game was quite chaotic.
