A Shea Weber blast in the first period, two rockets from Andrei Markov in the second, and the Canadiens down the Ottawa Senators for the third time in a week.
Montreal’s pathetic showings against Detroit and Carolina earlier this week is now ancient history. The Canadiens win a big one, they once again widen the gap to three points in the Atlantic Division fight for first, and they looked decent doing it.
They’re back in our good books, thanks to Markov with his pair of goals and a helper, Carey Price coming up big when called upon, and a clock-punching, hardworking, hard-skating effort by everyone.
