Like the season to this point, this road trip has had a bit of everything.
The Ottawa Senators got off to a blistering start on this seven-game trip, reeling off impressive wins in Anaheim, San Jose and Vegas. And as good as they looked in those wins, the losses in Los Angeles, St. Louis and Dallas were all pretty disappointing. Sunday’s loss was flat out humbling. And now, as they hit the final stop in this season-long road trip, they have an opportunity to end on a high note.
The Ottawa Senators visit the Canadiens on Tuesday night in Montreal.
This is how Travis Green had ’em lined up at the morning skate, including a return to the lineup for Kurtis MacDermid. Nick Cousins comes out of the lineup to make room. There’s also a bit of shuffling in the top six.
Tkachuk-Stützle-Zetterlund
Perron-Cozens-Batherson
Amadio-Pinto-Giroux
MacDermid-Eller-Greig
Sanderson-Zub
Kleven-Spence
Matinpalo-Jensen
Linus Ullmark is the starting goalie
Puck drops at 7:08 PM in Montreal but could be slightly delayed should they decide to have a pregame ceremony to honour pregame ceremonies. The game is available on TSN5, TSN2, TSN1200 and 104.7 FM.
