The Ottawa Senators' special teams turned in a superb performance in helping the visitors knock off the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 in NHL pre-season action on Tuesday evening.
Montreal enjoyed the majority of the scoring opportunities in the first period, but neither team registered a shot for the first seven minutes.
The same defensive tempo persisted into the second period, but the Canadiens were able to net a second goal through a few opportunistic bounces of the puck after just four minutes. While trying to centre a pass, Dach — who had left the game after a hit to the head in the first period — would double the Canadiens’ lead after the puck hit two Senators defencemen before slipping between Ullmark’s legs.
The Senators wasted no time getting their first when Amadio jumped on a rebound from point-blank range. They would then turn a one-goal deficit into a 3-2 lead by scoring two more on the man advantage through Gaudette and Greig. Ottawa’s power play continued its hot streak, adding another just two minutes into the third period. Yakemchuk’s well-placed one-timer beatOn Montreal’s end, the power play continued to be problematic. In the Canadiens five pre-season games, they have failed to score on any of their 25 attempts including five on Tuesday.
