Canadiens Win Battle for the Bottom

OTTAWA -The Montreal Canadiens built an insurmountable lead over the Ottawa Senators two rounds into the shootout after blowing a two-goal lead in the third period. Alex Kovalev and Maxim Lapierre scored on Montreal's first two attempts in the tiebreaker after Jaroslav Halak turned aside Ottawa's first two shots to give the Canadiens a 5-4 win over the Senators on Saturday night. The Canadiens now sit alone in 5th place with 4 points ahead of Ottawa who picked up 1 point in the game.

The Canadiens have played only 3 games in the championship, and will make up those game with a Western road trip in February. Before that trip, the Canadiens will take on the Toronto Maple Leafs at home on February 7th.

No comments:



Each team plays 10 games. One home and one away against each of the other Canadian teams.

Teams in the same conference play each other more than twice during the regular season, however only two of the meetings were selected (home and away). The games selected were Nationally Televised on TSN, CBC-Hockey Night in Canada (particularly on Hockey Day in Canada), or Holidays where possible.

The Canadian Championship will use same point structure as the NHL Regular Season (W - 2 pts, OTL - 1 pt, SOL - 1 pt)

The Champion will be the team with the most points.
