Montreal Canadiens vs. Ottawa Senators

How to watch

Start time: 1:30 PM EDT / 10:30 AM PDT
Streaming: RDS.ca, YouTube, Twitch

The Montreal Canadiens bounced back after getting outclassed by the Buffalo Sabres’ offensive prospects on Friday evening to defeat the Boston Bruins on Saturday afternoon. Now for their final match of the pre-season tournament, they take on an Ottawa Senators team that always gets amped up for this event.

Like the Sabres, the Senators have amassed talent from all of their low finishes in the league in recent years, though they have taken a more physical approach to their drafting than the Sabres who focused more on skill. It’s going to be a different test for the Canadiens this afternoon, and one that will prepare the prospects for training camp back in Montreal.

Sean Farrell will play on the top line with Owen Beck and Joshua Roy, while David Reinbacher returns to the Canadiens lineup after missing Saturday’s game.
