This is a huge revenge game for the road team. Montreal defeated the Senators in overtime last month despite Ottawa holding a 3-2 lead in the third period. Ottawa is ranked 4th in shots allowed per game and has a +11 shot differential, while the Canadiens are ranked 17th with a -66 shot differential. The Senators rank first in Face-off win percentage, while Montreal is ranked 14th. Ottawa has four one-goal losses out of their last five defeats, while Montreal has had two one-goal losses out of their previous five. The Senators are almost at full strength with Brady Tkachuk back on the ice. Montreal will be without defenseman Jayden Struble, who missed Monday’s practice. I have Ottawa 14 spots higher in my power rankings.
