Let’s face it, tonight’s 9-2 loss the Montreal Canadiens was completely deserved. The Ottawa Senators dropped the ball on their final pre-season game of 2017, as they head into the regular season having lost their last three, with a final pre-season record of 3-3.
The first minute of the first period went exactly as planned, if not better. Alex Galchenyuk took a penalty three seconds after the puck drop, and Kyle Turris blasted a wrist shot past Carey Price with Alex Burrows having won a puck battle in front.
