Montreal Canadiens at Ottawa Senators

Montreal's road trip continues but we are getting closer to home. Things don't get any easier as they will have to find a way to shut down 35 year old C Greg Mortlock. Mortlock already has 4 goals in 5 games after scoring 35 last year to go along with his 37 assists. Mortlock has 82 career NHL goals in 169 games so far. The have a strong veteran presence on the back end with RD Lucas Sexton. The 31 year old Sexton has only 1 assist this season, but he is the definitive defensive defenseman, with 44 points in 139 career games. LD Steve Pethick is a game time decision for Ottawa. The 33 year old Pethick is day to day with whiplash and has played through the injury so far with 5 games, getting 4 assists. He played 65 games last year and had 7 goals and 40 points.

Ottawa comes into the game with a 3-2-0 record while Montreal stumbles out of the block with a 2-4-0 record. G Mike Blackshear sporting a .909 save % will start for Montreal while G Tony Linnell will go for Ottawa, he has a .930 save %. RW Yevgeny Ronov is still not in the line-up.

Mid-way through the 1st, Ottawa strikes first. Montreal is out shooting the Sens 7-4 but trail 1-0. The 1st ends 1-0 for Ottawa with the shots favouring Montreal 11-8.

Montreal does get on the board early in the 2nd, RD Matej Ouhrabka pots his 1st of the year to tie the game. The Sens get the lead back when Greg Mortlock scores for the 5th time this year just past 5 minutes into the period. With just over 4 minutes left in the 2nd, Ottawa strikes again and it is 3-1 for the Sens. Montreal responds quickly though, LW Lorenzo Bocci bags his 5th of the year and its 3-2 about a minute later. The period ends 3-2 for the Sens.

Montreal continues to play well and are outshooting Ottawa 15-6 in the 3rd period and finally get a break, a PP with 1:10 left in the game. Unfortunately Montreal's Tom Gaskell takes a tripping minor with 0:39 left to even it out. Montreal does get their goalie out for an extra attacker and get a face off in the Sens end with 0:15 left. Montreal's Dave Wright wins the draw, but the Habs don't get a shot before Ottawa clears the zone, another loss.

The Sens C Greg Mortlock is selected the 1st star with his goal and the Habs effort was there, but no result.
