With victories in each pre-season game they’ve played so far, the last two requiring some late heroics from rookie forwards, the Montreal Canadiens traveled to Ontario to take on the Ottawa Senators. A few prospects had survived the first round of cuts earlier in the day, and were back in action on Saturday night.
Nick Suzuki had an early chance to make another big impression while playing on Montreal’s top line with Phillip Danault and Tomas Tatar. With a leading pass getting a bit too far out of reach, he batted the puck on net, but had it stopped by Craig Anderson.
