The only NHL game that will confront two Canadian teams next Saturday corresponds to the clash between Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens, teams that will face at 06:00 pm CST in the Canadian Tire Centre. Ironically, even when Canada won the 4 Nations Face-Off some days ago, these teams aren’t really considered as contenders to battle for the championship.
Despite that, Ottawa Senators have managed to find some good performances that allowed them to compete for the Eastern Conference playoffs’ spots, however it cannot be ignored that they currently have a streak of 3 losses in a row. In addition, it must be added that they currently are the second worst offensive line in the Atlantic Division with 158 scored goals throughout the season.
On Montreal Canadiens’ side, this team is 6 points behind the playoffs’ mark, and even when that gap appears to be short, the reality is that the Canadiens have displayed a terrible defensive performance throughout the season, not being surprising at all that they’re the second worst defensive line in the Eastern Conference after conceding 194 goals this season. Also, they were only able to win 1 out of their last 5 games, which was a very low tier team like San Jose Sharks.
