Second game of a back-to-back? Third game in four days? Nothing to see here.
The Final:
Canadiens 3, Senators 1
How It Happened:
It was a close game. Sens had it within one up until an empty-netter there at the end. Just didn’t have it in ‘em.
Any Fights?
Nope. Cordial evening.

Senators News:
Joey Daccord got the start in goal and played pretty well (Matt Murray got a rest, Marcus Högberg’s on the IR). Derek Stepan’s going to have season-ending surgery, as was suspected might be the case.
Senators Thoughts:
Not a bad showing. Making some things happen, staying close. Impressively, in the mix in the division as the halfway mark comes up.
What’s Next:
The fellas are taking a swing out west. Starts tomorrow night (Thursday) in Calgary.
