Well, at least they beat the Leafs. Twice.
The Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens took to the ice for the first pre-season game at the Canadian Tire Centre. With Thomas Chabot packing the new contract smell, and Habs fans riling around Nick Suzuki, the two teams squared off for a game of bouncy pucks, sloppy turnovers, and some undoubtedly pre-season hockey.
No goals were scored in the first period, despite Ottawa’s three consecutive chances on the power-play. The Habs struck first on a power play of their own, however, with Jeff Petry scoring at the tail end of a quick passing play.
