After thrilling back-to-back wins over their two biggest rivals last week, the Sens had one last chance to leave on a high note before the All-Star break.
And my goodness, did they deliver.
They couldn’t give us another blowout win this time. That’s been done before. Instead, they taunted the Habs, never quite taking over the game just to make sure that Habs fans would leave the arena disappointed. What a game.
First Period
The last time these two teams played each other, Montreal dominated the first period. That did not happen this time.
It hardly took any time for the Ottawa Senators from Ottawa Ontario, also known as the francophone team of the NHL, to take the lead.
