MONTREAL — Star sniper Cole Caufield scored the game-winning goal and added an assist as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Ottawa Senators 4-3 in NHL pre-season action Wednesday night.
Mathieu Joseph scored twice and Dominik Kubalik had a goal for an inexperienced Ottawa team . The Senators’ top six forwards and top four defencemen didn’t make the trip to Montreal.
Down 2-0, Ottawa scored three unanswered goals in the second period. The last two were Joseph's, whose name has circulated in trade rumours this week with the Senators needing salary cap space to sign restricted free agent Shane Pinto. Gignac then broke the ice at 13:33 of the first period, firing a pass from Jared Davidson from the slot to beat Korpisalo, who was slid into by defenceman Travis Hamonic.
Slafkovsky continued revolving around the action into the second period, when Dach sprang him on a breakaway early in the frame. Korpisalo, however, shut the door with a smooth glove save.Off-season acquisition Kubalik cut the deficit to one 2:45 into the second with a one-timer at the side of the net that beat Allen.
