The Ottawa Senators came out on top in a thrilling game against the Montreal Canadiens, scoring four power-play goals to secure a 4-3 victory.
The Senators started off strong, with Brady Tkachuk scoring the first goal of the game just over a minute into the first period. However, the Canadiens quickly responded with two goals of their own, courtesy of Nick Suzuki and Tyler Toffoli.
But the Senators refused to back down, and their persistence paid off when they were awarded a power play opportunity in the second period. Drake Batherson took advantage of the man advantage and tied the game at 2-2.
The Senators continued to dominate on the power play, with Josh Norris and Thomas Chabot each scoring a goal to give Ottawa a 4-2 lead. The Canadiens fought back, with Brendan Gallagher scoring a goal late in the third period, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Senators’ strong performance.
The Senators’ power-play unit was the key to their victory, converting on four out of five opportunities. This was a significant improvement for the team, as they had struggled with their power play in previous games.
Ottawa’s goaltender, Matt Murray, also played a crucial role in the win, making 30 saves and keeping the Canadiens at bay in the final minutes of the game.
This victory marks the Senators’ third win in a row, and it is a much-needed boost for the team as they continue to fight for a playoff spot in the North Division.
The Canadiens, on the other hand, have now lost three games in a row and will need to regroup quickly if they want to maintain their position in the standings.
Both teams will face each other again on Saturday, and it is sure to be another intense and competitive game. But for now, the Senators can celebrate their hard-fought victory and look to build on their success in the games to come.
