Game 79 Preview and Open Thread: Montreal Canadiens @ Ottawa Senators
Photo by Francois Lacasse/NHLI via Getty ImagesComing off a hard-fought victory in Columbus last night, the Ottawa Senators come home to host their final meeting of the season against Montreal. This game certainly feels like a trap as Ottawa plays the back half of a doubleheader against a team that has lost seven in a row and eight of its last ten. With Filip Gustavsson having played last night, we expect to see Anton Forsberg tonight. Ottawa went with these lines and pairings in Ohio:
Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
Formenton - Stützle - Brown
Tierney - Kastelic - Gaudette
Kelly - Gambrell - Watson
Brännström - Zub
Del Zotto - Hamonic
Holden - Zaitsev
