Canadiens 9, Senators 2
The Canadiens had scored 12 goals in seven preseason games before the final one against the Senators, which means they increased their goal total by 75 percent Saturday night. The Max Pacioretty, Jonathan Drouin, and Brendan Gallagher line was particularly effective; each of them had three points. The Canadiens had 40 shots on goal. Things were going so well that even Jacob De La Rose scored. Twice.
Carey Price is clearly ready for the regular season. Following the game in Québec City against the Maple Leafs on Wednesday he stated the preseason was way too long, and if things were up to him the regular season would already be underway.
